    In troubleshooting my backup failure I seem to remember reading somewhere in my travels that homes server need to be connected directly to the router rather than a switch that is connected to the router.  Is this true?  I originally had it connected to my router and the backup worked fine, but when I connected it to my switch it will not backup.  I can log into the server without issue, but no backup occurs.

     

    Thanks..............

    My workstation and my WHS (in a virtual machine) are both connected to a switch, and teh backup works fine.

    There is no problem connecting WHS to a switch instead of the router directly. So troubleshooting non appearing backups would start at attempting a manual backup. Would this run?

    If not, what is the error you get? Check also the clients event log.
