Gang,
Virtually all of the WinXP boxes I'm backing up will fail (for various
reasons) after 2.5 hours. Local boxes (on my net) will go longer, to
roughly 3.5 hours, but the boxes I'm backing up over the net tend to stop at
at between 2 hours and 2.5 hours.
Here's the log file from one of the more successful backups (over the net).
Two backup runs went much longer, proving that this is not a "barrier" per
se, but more of a tendency. Average backup run from this file below is 163
minutes, but as you can see, lots of 150-minute runs.
Any suggestions of things to tweak to try to get these full backup runs
(initial backup runs) to go longer? What is the deal with these signal=ALRM
errors?
Thanks,
Todd
