I am new to VM software and had a hard time figuring out how to connect the guest to a shared network drive.  If you have a how to on how to connect the guest to a network drive I am all ears.

Thanks, Cameron

Standard SAMBA filesharing - any hard drive connected to your host should automatically have the hidden administrative share created by default (e.g \\yourpcname\D$).  Just map to that from your guest.

 

Now, looking at the post above this one, trying to do it at boot time will require something different, as you won't be in a Windows environment yet - so you likely would need to attach the device directly to the VM so that the Acronis boot disk/disc could see the drive where the backup images are stored.
