I'm trying to back up about 600GB of data from a 2TB TS Live box to a 2TB LS Pro Duo box on the same network, but it never completes.
A few observations
- I have turned off the PCast and media server functionality from each box to help with backup speed.
- When I start the backup (immediate), the LS box is not accessible as a share in Windows (it would be nice to watch the backup progress)
- The TS reports that the backup is in progress
- Sometime later (the next day), I notice that the TS lights were no longer blinking furiously, indicating that the transfer is complete or stopped.
- I used Windows explorer to look at the LS, and only about 233GB has been transfered
- The TS box still thinks the backup is in progress.
So, how does one resolve this? It takes a long time to transfer 600GB files (even though this is a gigabit network, and both boxes are plugged into the same switch) and these false starts are very time consuming.
Any ideas are appreciated, specs are below:
