Backup4All FTP Problems
Perry Mowbray:
Are you using Passive mode FTP (http://www.backup4all.com/passive-mode.php)? Passive mode works much better when going through a NAT router.

Definitely Passive. Even tried Extended Passive.
The dev asked me to try Active, but it didn't get off the ground.
Perry Mowbray:
My experience is that the version of Samba on the linux machine can pose problems (I have the exact same problem here in a "mixed" LAN network, only SyncbackSE is able to make backups) :( Still, I'm looking for an answer for this one.

That's interesting. I didn't find any problems backing up to my NAS (once I got the temporary folder set correctly) :)
Yes, this is definitely driving me crazy...

Right now I'm a happy person, because I did find a solution (to my problem at least ;D).
http://areca.sourceforge.net/ is the way.
Not such a nice GUI (in version 5.5.5.5) but is very capable and once setup I can access it through the commandline for scheduled backups.

Right now I am too! :D
The Backup4All developers identified that the FTP Server was not responding correctly to a SIZE command sometimes, they've amended their application and it works a dream!!
Mind you: it doesn't answer any questions >:( Apparently it's a standard Windows2003 & IIS install, so why would it be mucking up just with Backup4All, or are all other softwares taking a similar approach to get around that "bug"??
But, anyway: the upshot is that the problem is fixed (and all the Help Desks were very helpful too)!
