Unanswered connection lost during auto BU

    I occasionally get a message during an auto BU that the connection has been lost and the BU was unsuccessful.  There are no other symptoms and pinging establishes that there is a connection.

    Doing a manual BU immediately is successful.

    Does anybody know what may be happening?

    Actually it is both.   I have not characterized either as more prone or not.  I will start paying attention. 

    Like I said, it happens every so oftern.

    <GRIN> Both

    After some weeks and a bunch of reboots all seems preety well here.  Even the one wireless client.  It is a desktop.  I do get iritated when I go to a box I have not touched in days and have to click, a backup is starting, a backup has completed, etc etc.

    Let us know.

    I have a wireless connection and I am constantly getting the disconnected during backups.  I have tried both staying at the system while it backsup and ... letting it run over nite.

    I made sure the wireless adapter was set to not go to sleep ....

    This is still an issue and if it persists I will turn in a bug report.  I cannot discern any pattern to the failure.

    Interestingly enough, my wireless laptop backs up flawlessly (and automatically) while my directly connected desktop has never backed up automatically.

    My home network consists of 2 WinXP, 1 Vista Ultimate, 1 Xbox360 and the WHS box.  Both XP boxes back up with no issues.  1 XP box is wireless and one is Wired.  The Vista is wireless and has A HUGE amount of data and I think that is where it falls appart during the BU.  I changed the AUTO BU to just be a 8 GB section of data and it backed up just peachy.

    I get somewhat the same and when I look at the backup details it has

     

    "Failure Reason for Volume C:

    No Abort occured"

     

    message.  

     

    Has anyone else seen this message?

    My recommendation is to connect the Vista machine with all the data to WHS using a wired connection for the initial backup. After that, WHS will have most of the clusters, so it will be able to back the machine up more quickly.
