Wireless backup to NAS

[judas_64]

Hello!
Just curious, I have been attempting to backup my PC's drives to my NAS unit. Unfortunately, always near the end, there is a connection drop or error. Usually after about 10 hours or longer of transfer. Paragon just drops it like a hot rock. Is there a setting to extend the program from just ending, say 5 or 10 minutes? Or even better, an option to allow it to pick up where it left off in case of a glitch in connection? I have to always start from scratch unless I'm just not seeing this option?
I did just order a faster Wireless WIFI router, but an option to allow the program to continue where it left off would be superior!!
Thank you!

Hi,
There is not yet such a function to pick up the repeated backup from the breakpoint. A user has to repeat the backup from the very beginning or check, what is backed up and what is not, and backup the rest.
The reliable connection is required for a successful backup to NAS especially via WiFi. It`s advisable to test the network connectivity before backing up by copying a sufficiently big file to the destination folder. The size should be comparable to the archive fragment size (default 4 GB). See if the transfer completes successfully. If the network problem confirms, you need to troubleshoot it before backing up. The most basic troubleshooting steps are to check network interface drivers, ping the destination with big packets, and traceroute it to see if there’s some data loss and where it occurs. It’s also advisable to check the physical connection.
To increase a backup performance it`s recommended to enable archive splitting as follows: Home => Settings => Backup=> checkbox enable image splitting”.

Thanks John! I will do exactly this. Unfortunately Linksys is notorious for "dropping" connection at any given time.. The new router should arrive anytime!

I'm curious. Just what Paragon product and OS are you using? Not all current Paragon products are working with a NAS when it comes to restoring an image using the recovery media.

I'm using the Hard Disk Manager 15 Suite On a Windows 10. I installed a faster router and internal network PCI card. So far no problems, but I have not tried to restore anything..... I should give it a go on some junk folder......

Try creating a recovery USB flash drive, see if it'll show your NAS and it's shares.

Too late to edit my above post but did you use the ADK/WAIK or uncheck that box? Checking that box or using ADK v1703 the Creator's Edition, it does work or unchecking that box either. I just created a recovery flash drive using the old ADK v8.1 and that did work showing my shares but v1703 is supposed to be used with W10 v1703. This problem started back with ADK v1607.

Missed the edit window again. Maybe they are monitoring this thread and me mentioning that using ADK 8.1 works with W10 v1703 caused the support ticket to be closed. You'd think that they would explain themselves before doing so even if it's by blaming Microsoft for its ADK. There is still the issue that it "doesn't" work if you "don't" use the ADK/WAIK but "does" work when using HDM15 Pro.

If using ADK 8.1 is the okay to use from a programming standpoint, it blows holes in what they always say to, "Always keep your software updated".
