Shame on me. I should have watched available space more carefully. I just ran
out of space and IIS just silently discarded the file. I tried Filezilla as
suggested by Mike, which kept the file (incomplete) and then of course the
system showed 0 bytes free. After freeing up some space, IIS worked fine as
well (and actually I prefer IIS over Filezilla). I.e. the only complaint I can
make is that the out of disk space is hard to recognize via the cryptic
messages FTP produces, and some of the disappear too soon.
Mike,
actually I like using FTP as there is no extra setup required, and I suspect
this will be different with NTFS. Does FTP work as well? are the images
compatible? Any advantage you would see using linux over netbsd?
Hubert,
is there a way to turn of compression all together? I was transferring an
encrypted disk, where compression will very likely not work at all.
Thanks & Best regards, jol

Two things.
First, I had an issue with IIS Ftp on Windows 2000 a long time ago, but
installed filezilla server and had no problems.
Second, I am the maintainer of the g4l project that is similar to g4u, but uses
linux as the base instead of netbsd. It also has ntfsclone which can backup
ntfs partitions faster than the raw copies. I have done backups of 2008R2
server, but it is just a test machine, so not extensively.
Good Luck, and if you do try g4l would like to know if it works or not.

Hi,
g4u just runs a "put" command on ftp, no delete...
I haven't heared of any such effect, either with IIS or any other FTP server
software.
Can you try another FTP server?
(No, sftp won't work with g4u)
Good luck!

Hello,
I download the 2.5beta1 as I suspected the drivers in 2.4 could be outdated and
burned the image to a DVD. Booting is OK and ethernet works (unlike other
software I tried). I used uploaddisk to my FTP server, a WHS 2011 (Windows
Server 2008R2) with IIS 7.5. During the upload I can see the created image file
in the destination folder, however once the upload is finished the file
disappears as if the last step during upload is a delete..
Is this a known issue with IIS? Maybe a configuration issue on either side?
Thanks & Best regards, Jol
