The only way around it, is to reboot the machine. It doesn’t seem to sort itself out (I’ve left it for days, and it didn’t budge). I’m not sure what to try? I’m off on my honeymoon for 3 weeks in a couple of months, and I really need this to tick over on its own while I’m away
The reason it says this number of years to complete is, because the transfer speed is 0 bytes per second. And of course, if it continues at 0 bytes per second, then it won’t ever complete.
Have you clicked Show Log to see what it is doing? I have had this happen before, and it was trying to access a certain user’s NTUSER.DAT file. So I asked that user to log off, and immediately it started continuing its backup. And of course, I then went in and added that file to a backup exception list, so that it would not hang up the process.
Thanks for the reply. Well , it just stopped at renaming a .sql.gz file, which is about 10mb - so not huge. It seems to vary each time, so I’m not sure its a specific file thats causing it
