I have a home built WHS 2011. Been working fine last week it failed backing up the Server. I get this error "The semaphore timeout period has expired." Have found a lot of questions regarding this going back to 2008 but Have yet to
find a solution. HELP!
Since you received the error while doing the backup, I suggest we could refer to the following article to troubleshoot the backup issue to see if the issue persists.

Interestingly I think I have traced it to the cause. How to fix it is beyond me. I recently added a Dell 1250c Color Laser printer. If I have it installed not backups. If I remove it Backup works fine.
By the way this is the Server Backup not the Client Backup. All Clients are backing up fine.
