Nonstop backup doesn't work....hanging with "Preparing to backup...."
My Nonstop backup had been working until about a week ago. Now all it does is say "NonStop Backup is turned on. Preparing to back up..." Then several hours later....it says the "Nonstop backup is turned off." The whole time the afcdpsrv.exe process is taking up around 50% of the CPU. I upgraded to 6053 and I still get the same thing. I'm using Windows 7 64 bit. This is getting very frustrating. What should I try next before asking for a refund.
I've come to the conclusion that my original NSB backup is corrupt. So NSB really isn't very useful. I installed another drive (drive B) and made it my backup drive and started NSB. It created a new backup and worked. I let it run a day and everything was OK. I then renamed the Time Explorer Storage folder on the original backup drive (drive A) ...stopped NSB on drive B...changed back to the drive A and started NSB. I was hoping this wouldn't work...therefore indicating some sort of hardware issue. However, it worked OK. I let it run for about a day with no issues. I then deleted the Time Explorer Storage folder from drive B and copied my renamed original backup Time Explorer Storage folder from drive A to drive B. I stopped NSB and changed over to drive B and the backup stops after a short time of "Preparing backup".
The conclusion.....NonStop Backup is useless.
