Hello,

I was hoping that someone can help with a problem I'm having.

Here is the setup;
-Small office network.
-Windows 2003 fileserver, fully up to date. Used as a file server.
-User A's local machine, Windows XP Prof, fully up to date.
-User B's local machine, Windows XP Prof, fully up to date.
-The file server has various shared folders on the network.
-The local machine maps these foldrs as local network drives when the
users
logs in.
-All drive mappings is common to all computers.
-I set up a standard backup using the windows backup to backup the users
\work\ folder.
-For user A the backup work just fine.
-For user B the backup fails with a delayed write failed.

I've been reading & reading with no luck. I found a number of articles
that
describe the issue close but not exact.

I found an article ID#890352 that exactly describes a system event warning
that comes up at the time of the delayed failure. But its for a W2003
server
based OS not a WinXP Prof machine.

I also found a forum thread that described increasing the SessTimeout
parameter from 45 to 300 in the registry under
\HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters. But
there is no SessTimeout parameter in my users machines. So...?

Here is the warning out of the event log;

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: MRxSmb
Event Category: None
Event ID: 50
Date: 4/21/09
Time: 10:02:00 AM
User: N/A
Computer: OWNER
Description:
{Delayed Write Failed} Windows was unable to save all the data for the
file
\Device\LanmanRedirector. The data has been lost. This error may be caused
by
a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to
save
this file elsewhere.

0020: 00000000 00000000 c000020c

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks,
Mat

I suggest you post the following items:
- The full backup command
- The contents of the ntbackup log file that relates to this event.

By the way - why do you run ntbackup on the workstations? Since you have a
file server, the usual method is to run a centralised backup process on this
server.
