Recommendation for Vista network backups

[Lang Murphy]

So far it's only happened once with this RC release. Could be just an
anomaly or...a bug!
Time will tell.

Frank,

I've got 4 WHS clients: 1 wired, 3 wireless. One of my wireless boxes took
13 HOURS to back up today. This was the second backup for that seat. The
first backup took 3 hours. (And... no data's been added... at least not
enough to add 10 hours to the process!)

I was actually surprised that the backup didn't fail as this client is
notorious for dropping its net connection.

Not looking for a fix... just commenting... still loving WHS! What an
awesome product!

hehehe...I never put the wireless on backup cause it was redundant to do
so.
It is on sync with the doc's folder on WHS. Don't care about anything
else on it.
Maybe I made a lucky move!

I've been testing the WHS as well, and I'm having more trouble with RC1 than
I did with the beta.
I keep losing connections with the server, and have to reboot the server
about every other day.
Backing up 1 Vista desktop, 1 Vista notebook, 1 XP desktop.

Have you tried rebuilding the connection instead of rebooting the server?
