I got the Sentinel a few weeks ago. I am slowly transferring files from where they have been stroed around my network on the Sentinel - so that I can use it as the File Server. I am trying to have one central location for all my files.
I had been using Windows Home Server. An HP box. As well as storing files scattered on the network…not good.
So now I want to use the Sentinel to Backup my individual computers on the network. Even though I plan on storing 99% of my files on the server, I would like to have each machine backed up-because if a hard drive on one of them crashes, it can take almost a full day to rebuild the machine-with installing software etc.
Once I get this feature set up, I plan on setting up an external backup of the Sentinel. My problem right now is that the backup service starts as scheduled, but then stops almost immediately. When I try to do it manually-it only gets about 1% done, then stops. When I ‘View Details’, it says insufficient storage available for backup.
So you are sayiong you installed the connector, it show is tne dashboard and you right click backup now and it goes to 1% and dies.
The drives in the client PC are NTFS correct? If you look in the event log on the client PC down the list you should see windows server section. A better error msg should be in there.
