Delayed Write Filed

This afternoon about every minute or so, I'm getting a warning balloon in
the Notification area: "Windows Delayed Write Filed. Windows was unable to
save all data from file K:\$Mft.... Please try to save this file elsewhere."
When I click on the balloon it disappears. Search for this file produced
nothing. The K drive is one with a centralized backup.
What's going on? How to stop this warning from popping up?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

If you are getting a delayed write failed on a network drive ("centralized
backup") there is an issue with the network. If this is a wireless network
connection you probably have a weak signal to the server. I will
occasionally get this when I am saving on the wireless network at my house
from one particular room and I have a weak signal.

If it is a wired connection I am sure someone else will come in with more
information on what to check there.

I think you're right, it could be a weak signal on my wireless network. By
now, the warning is gone... Everything looks normal.
Thanks for your suggestion.

The issue with this type of message is that the data probably won't be
copied and if you are currently overwriting a file on the "server" when the
signal drops out you may lose the information on the local computer and/or
server. For that reason, I always keep a full backup of the server (Network
Attached Storage) in my home network onto another drive and these are
hardwired with a daily incremental and a weekly full backup. I also always
try to save locally before I do the network save but in your case a program
is automatically doing the save so that won't work.
