Backup and Restore with Vista

I have a computer that is running Windows 2000 Pro and it is a computer that
cannot be upgraded anymore because of the hardware. I don't use this
computer much anymore and would be great if I can find some use for it. I'm
thinking on using this as a computer to store my backup files too. I also
have a computer that is running Windows Vista Ultimate.

Can I use the Backup and Restore feature between these two computers? If I
could backup my files to the 2000 machine, this way I can easily restore
those files back onto my Vista machine.

As long as they are networked and your target folder is shared, you can do
this. See this blog post for tips.
