Backup Issues on Melco N1ZH/2 Using Minimserver

[ptcl99]

Simon,

I experienced missing file folders once before in the backup process from a Melco N1 ZH/2 (non-EX). I thought I inadvertently made a mistake. I attached a USB hard drive to the backup port of Melco. Twonky was deactivated. The Minimserver was Version 1 then.

With a similar configuration, I tried to backup 1,456 folders on the Melco yesterday. I got 181 folders the first time without error messages. I got more than 500 folders the second time. Melco firmware is 3.93. The Minimserver 2 is the latest.

I prefer not to attach the USB drive to a computer to back up over the router. Any idea about why the backup is unreliable?

Thanks,
