EX4 Woes

Hi there, thanks for your response.

  1. I had looked through the support website and was unable to find the error code 1400 hense asking on here to see if someone knew what it was the code for.

  2. I have already changed the port numbers to ensure that there are no conflicts between the 2 devices. I’ve changed the ports for SSH, Remote Access, http and https to ensure they’re different from the other drive. and to allow fort forwarding.

In other news I noticed that the wdmc and wdphotodbmergerd processes were eating up loads of my CPU and Memory (despite having turned off all the media features, streaming, itunes etc)

After reading another article in the community I decided to SSH in and kill these processes and prevent them from restarting.

I also went through and deleted all the .wdmc folders on the drives.

The backup is now running and is having no problems.

So I guess I can put error 1400 down to one of 2 things.

  1. The EX4 was running out of resources and the backup falling over (ie. No RAM left) or

  2. One of the .wdmc folders contained a corrupted file which the drive was unable to copy.

If you can think of any other reasons please advise.
