Back up to secondary HDD over network?

It's not actually an external HDD - it's a second internal HDD. It's split into three partitions. Does that make a difference?

Anyway, I've made it so ownership is ignored on that disk. But that hasn't helped - when I connect, the only options are for mounting users, not mounting disks. All the users are on the startup disk (of course), so I can't navigate 'further down the trunk' to get to the other disk.

So I'm really stuck. I really appreciate you trying, Dave. Anyone else out there who has faced this problem? Maybe there is another way to network, other than using the means of connection that I've been trying?
