 Problem is that every morning I come in to find that the XP app is
 complaining of disk problems from the share. I am fairly certain that this
 problem is occurring in the middle of the night, when my Amanda backups run.
 This does load the network fairly good. The FreeBSD box, and the Linux box
 are on the same switch, and same subnet. Anyone have suggestions as to how
 to address this issue?
 
 

Can you please share error logs on the xp share side ?

What is the backup set size that Amanda is handling ?


thanks
Saifi.
