Nonstop backup locks machine

Thread needs solution

This is a new installation of 2016...it's backing up to an external 5TB Seagate drive, USB 3.0.

Nonstop backup was configured and performed for two days.

Then in the AM the machine was frozen...mouse moved but couldn't do anything with the machine...had to reset.  This kept happening.

I deleted the nonstop job and it hasn't locked up since.

Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

Hello, Jack.

What exactly are you backing up? How many files and what's the total size? Do the files change frequently?

Thanks for the interest but I decided not to use the non-stop feature.

I think features like that should just work without having to do a bunch of debuging so I'm using another scheme.

BTW, it's a RAID array of roughly 200gig...normal office type files.
