most nights it goes fine, finishes quite quickly with USB 2.0 connection to external drive. However sometimes with no ryhme or reason I can find it will slow the server to such a crawl that no one can login or access files, but if you unplug the external drive the server comes back up and the BAEX shows that it was running the whole time. Any ideas? Also why can I set a time limit on a job that has no real world use? cause it certainly doesn't cancel the job, it can run for days if I were to let it, but the users now know that if they can't login in the am to just disconnect the USB Drive and the server will start responding again. It's very annoying. TIA
