October 6, 201015 yr This post in under hardware but..... I have been running un unregistered copy of 4.4.2 for almost a year, although not much use was made of it until early 2010. I (want to) use it mostly for Windows backups. It worked flawlessly when the only use was to backup WIndows XP. I first began to have problems when I migrated the XP machine to Windows 7 and also started backing up a Vista machine. The backups would fail with a Windows error 0x80070020 - file being used by another process - which looked like a Win7/Vista problem. The error was limited to unRaid backups - backups to other Windows machines are ok. The frequency of errors appears to be increasing, but it can still run for over an hour before failing, which makes life tedious. Now I am seeing various errors with file copies as well as backups, but I have no definitive error codes - just 'error attempting to write to media' or 'unknown error'. UnRaid reports no errors on its hard drives. I have replaced the network cables and the NIC in the unRaid server and the local switch - I was going to do this anyway, but it does make the errors look as if the occur on the unRaid machine itself rather than anywhere else. Below is the beginning and end of Syslog from the most recent boot. A Windows 2000 backup was started at 2013 and failed at 2031 (a short record). Any help interpreting this or suggestions on how to proceed further would be appreciated. UnRaid is effectively dead until I have a solution. Thanks, RGL.

October 6, 201015 yr Are you using some backup software, or are these manual backups (drag and drop)?
October 7, 201015 yr I've seen these errors with unRAID when trying to replace a file that starts with a ".". I have an application on my PC that creates files like .xyz.app. They work fine under windows 7 and can be created and overwritten in Windows. However, some of these files are backed up as copies on mt unRAID. unRAID has no problems creating the files first time through. However, if one gets updated on my Windows machine, and my sync tries to overwrite the file on unRAID, I receive the "error attempting to write to media" message. so I have to manually delete all the files that start with . on my unRAID and then run the sync again. Maybe you are having a similar problem. Something you have in Vista or 7 that you didn't use/have in XP that is creating files that start with a period.
October 7, 201015 yr Author Thanks, KY. I am happy to report that my problem seems (I'm trying not to invoke anything ugly) to have gone away. The last change was to upgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.5.6. I am now able to run backups and copy large files without error. I did find a "." file - created by iTunes, but it does not appear to be a problem. The error code reported by Windows backup, 0x80070020, is a snare and a delusion. After I went through the process of running the backup with only essential services active, I got a different error code, 0x8007003B 'Unexpected network error', which makes more sense (well, at least it points in the right direction). The additional NIC card (Trendnet Gigabit PCI) was picked up by unRaid without issue and ETHTOOL reports it is running at 1000Mbs. The data rate reported by Windows file copy is between 11 and 13 MBs, which is a significant increase. I have not tried reverting to the old Ethernet port, but I think the real fix was in the unRaid upgrade. I should also mention that troubleshooting got easier when I found the 'Newbie' page in the Forum. Somehow I had missed that, and seaching from the top is not always productive. Regards, RGL
