I have several shared directories on a network, can IFW backup these directories or is it limited to only physical/virtual drive images?
I'd like to be able to backup some directories shared from OSX, but as it doesn't support writing to NTFS formatted drives I can't backup directly from the system itself.
Is it possible to backup shared directories on a network?

Re: Is it possible to backup shared directories on a network?
No, it will only image physical/virtual drives attached to the machine.
File based you can simply used the old NTBackup utility (not sure what they
are giving you nowadays - but should still have a file based backup). You
can also just use a zip type utility to zip them up.
