File copies and Laptop Backups

I initiated a copy of my music and home videos from my old desktop PC to my server last night.   I believe it said about 200GB of video and about 50GB of music.

I removed the connector from my laptop and reinstalled it so that my laptop was ‘new’ to the server, hoping that the backups would work better.  I kicked off the backup at about 10:30 pm.  At 11:00pm, it said 35% complete.  At 6:30 this morning, it was only about 48% complete???  What is going on?  I guess I will not have it backup my external drive and only backup the internal drive and see if that works.  I am already copying most of the critical data off of the external drive anyways, so I can just copy the rest and not include it in the back up?!

I also kicked off the backup of my desktop PC.  It didn’t backup overnight, probably because my laptop was trying to backup.  So it should be done by the time I get home tonight.
