Roy Lambert NLH Associates Team Elevate | I positive some of you lot will have bought Windows7 by now. Have they improved the networked file handling over Vista's performance. I ask because I decided to delete some of the old backups off my 1Tb Freecom Datatank. OK there were a few hundred Gb but Vista wanted c4 days to delete (the peak it told be was 23 days) and I left it running for 12 hours and nbothing much had happened. Hooked up a mediocre XP laptop and job done in less than 2 hours.

"Raul" | I've been running Win7 Pro since July and it is definitely an improvement over Vista. I'm sticking with it as it does seem better than xp especially under load. I personally have not run into any of the networking issues and use it a lot of file access files over lan. Overall most of the vista annoyances are gone (various slowdowns, etc) but explorer is still vista like (though with some improvements) and control panel is still new stle (meaning i still use the quick search). If you're running vista then i'd definitely suggest moving to 7.

(Matthew Jones) | It the datatank a little Linux based NAS? Have you got directories with tens of
thousands of files? If so, this is normal behaviour, and you won't find any interface that will work better. Me, I had to fix this by wiping the NAS and starting over. The same files stored on a Windows XP box were easily deleted. If it isn't lots of little files, then ignore me. 8-) /Matthew Jones/ |

The glyphs directory and subdirectories has about 14k .bmps but all the rest will be at worst very low hundreds. >If so, this is normal behaviour, and you won't find any >interface that will work better. I actually found that with the XP notebook if I selected one backup directory after the other it went MUCH faster. >Me, I had to fix this by wiping the NAS and >starting over. The same files stored on a Windows XP box were easily deleted. Somewhat defeats the purpose of a backup Roy |
