Delayed write Error to mapped network drive

[CWatters]

I'm trying to backup a lot of data to a mapped network drive (specifically
over a 100base10 lan to a USB 2.0 drive connected to a second PC).

After random time intervals I get a "Delayed write Error" and the Event Log
has the following entry...

Can anyone tell me what the status word C000020C means?

This seems to be caused by excessive network traffic. The folder being
written to was a shared folder in the root of a drive. I read that this can
cause a lot more network traffic (Somethng about all computers being
informed when a file changes)..

The solution was to "push the share down a level" eg create a sub folder and
only share that with the computer that needs access. To clarify...

Drive E: is a USB drive on ComputerA

Before: I shared the folder E:\Backups and in that folder I had sub
folders E:\Backups\ComputerA and E:\Backups\ComputerB

After: I just shared the folder E:\Backups\ComputerB
