    Backing up over ethernet is gonna take awhile (unless all network devices are Gigabit ethernet capable) but should work. I back up my Inspiron 8600 to an external drive which is connected to my other laptop with Acronis software. Still using the network this way though. The fastest way other than Gigabit ethernet is to connect an external drive via firewire or usb directly to the PC.
