1. Start menu > type "backup and restore" > open the "Backup and Restore" program
5. When ready to initiate your first or any succeeding backup (if outside of your chosen automated backup timing) click on "Back up now".
Note that the backup will take a while if it's the first one or contains a lot of files. The system image backup option also takes quite a while.

2. Select Back up Now.
 
3. Select a network location and put the path of your HDA in. example: "\\hda\backups". Also add the credentials to access that share.
 
4. Click Ok.
 
5. Say back up now!
 
If everything was entered correctly. Windows 8 Should now back up to Amahi.
