I have been trying to back up my XP home desktop to a network server/drive.
I have tried ntbackup.exe and NasBackup. However, in both cases, they get a good deal into backing up 5-10 GB when the system spontaneously reboots (just like a "reboot now" command when installing software).
When the system recovers, and I re-log in, I get the send error dialog which follows with a serious hardware failure web page ironically advising me to back up my disk.
I ran a disk check diagnostic (C: Properties, Tools tab, Check Now) and had no problems. Everything seems fine. Never any problem like this before.
Any thoughts as to track down the cause of this.
If the system spontaneously reboots and reports a hardware error while backing up, the message is pretty clear, and it's less important now to know the cause than it is to protect the data.
If you can't reliably back up the drive with the OS running, remove the drive and attach it to another system and back it up that way.
Then, you can check the system logs to see if there are entries as to what exactly failed. It's possible that you may need to replace the drive.
