There is something in the background that is writing to the HDD, hence the
"altered" message. Make sure nothing is running in the background that is
not necessary.

Subject:        [PCBUILD] Backup Program

I have a PIII, 128 MB Ram 30 Gig WD HDD being used as a server on a
peer-to-peer network with 3 other computers.  I am using a Sony external 10
gig backup.

It is set up to run at night (2 am after Norton scan) and it used to run
fine.  Now, it locks up, won't finish running the backup and when it goes
to compare, it indicates that almost every file backed up has been altered
or is inaccessible since backing up.

ANY ideas would be appreciated.

TIA,

David Gordon
