Restarting a backup
The computer freezes when the backup is partially complete. I have a large number of files totalling around 600Gb. After backing up around half of the data - which has taken something like 15 hours, the computer freezes and I have to reboot and restart the backup - which fails yet again.
I am using Windows XP
Can anyone suggest why this is happening?
Secondly, is there any way I can restart the backup where it left off, rather than having to start backing up the files again from the beginning?
If I can't get it to work, it looks as though I'll have to scrap Acronis and try some other software.

I am using True Images 2011 with the latest updates. I was initially able to back up the data effectively - although to do so took around 24 hours!!
I start the backup using Windows. I've done a checkdisc on both the target and source drives and found no errors on either disc. I've given up trying at the moment, after the computer froze yet again, and have resorted to backing up the files manually.

Did you chkdsk with the /r option?
