I have had that many problems with this unit. I have connected it to the TS
Box and when I run NTBackup it may go for 30 mins without an error or about
an hour - very random and comes up with "unable to write to this device" or
something similiar. Their backup software is crap - It tells me that files
are open when they are not, the schedule part sometimes fails to start and
if it does it exits if files are open and doesn't backup the rest of the
100,000 odd files and other times you can't even start the program without
going thru Task Manager and End Process LiveSystem.exe or re-booting. I
have downloaded their latest software and I think that their support has
given up on me.
If anyone is viewing this - DON'T BUY.
