Error 4 every night

Thread needs solution

True image 2014 3-license pack.
Installed on a Vista Home Prem and a Win7 Pro machine. (3rd key unused)
Scheduled backup fails with "Error 4" every night.

Backup is set to networked drive. I've tried using UNC path, or mapping a drive letter. Either way the nightly scheduled backup fails after creating some files.

Gigabit ethernet wired connections between all machines. Plenty of storage on the network drive.

You should check to see that your NIC is set to not power down after a period of time of inactivity. Your power.cfg plan is a good place to look for power settings. You can disable Windows shutdown of your NIC by locating your NIC in Device Manager and unchecking the box for that option. Mapped drive connections will timeout by default after 15 minutes of inactivity and disrupt backups. This is actually quite common. Look here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/297684. After the fix it part at the beginning of the article it goes on to tell you haw to do it yourself manually.

NIC power is set to always on (I'd already tried that) at both ends. Made the drive connection timeout changes suggested above. Backups are still not completing.
