ZoneAlarm Q: Why does NT backup want to hit the Internet?

[Batti]

I'm running a backup job on a Win2k Pro workstation, and ZoneAlarm just trapped a request to the Internet from NT backup. Why does my backup program want to go outside of my box?!?!?

Hi,

I think that ZoneAlarm is just seeing NTBACKUP looking for Network Drives to back up. Just tick the little box to tell ZoneAlarm to remember your answer, then tell it "NO", and you won't see the dialog any more.

Thanks, Jaywallen. Your answer was close... I discovered that the machine I was backing up over my LAN wasn't in the list of "local" machines, so ZoneAlarm thought I was going out to the Internet.


Thanks for replying!

Glad you got it sorted out.
