No Bob, no other replies so far.

Possibly not so many people using Silverkeeper , and your question was slanted towards that .
I dont use it at all .

Taking a different line ......... Is this the 80Gb USB drive you bought recently ?

Does it have a separate power supply or are using just the USB connection ?

You said that HD was Mac and PC ! Did you reformat it , or is it as you bought it ? If so it will most likely be formatted for PC , which Mac OSX can read and handle !

So there are a couple of thought s for you !

Meanwhile while Silverkeeper will not work for you , try Drag and drop of up to a GB
of data and see how it handles that .

I found by backing up small amounts at a
time like half a dozen photos (5-7 Mb0 it worked OK. Now however
Silverkeeper tells me I cannot back up any more since I have reached the maximum of 20 sets (A set is just one separate backup group of photos.) I
would not have put more than 1GB on the Maxtor so far.

Hi Folks
I'm attempting to back up photos to an external hard drive using
Silverkeeper software. After a fairly short while the backup ceases
and I
get "system error -1712 showing. This error code seems to be "Apple
event
timed out" according to the list I have.
Anyone help on this one please?
Cheers
John
