I can't offer much by way of explanation, but I have a Win95
workgroup fileserver that has this problem, unlike the 8 similar PCs
(similar bar the filesharing) being backed up. I found a way to
bypass the -1028: I defined a sub-volume on the same machine of a
directory with one small file; the sub-volume is in the backup list
immediately prior to the whole PC. Most of the time the sub-volume
collects the -1028 error and the PC backs up. The only other similar
PC error I had seen was caused by a screen-saver or energy saver
setting; this gave me the idea of a wake-up prod. My backup is done
via a Mac.
I hope this helps.
