Yesterday I upgraded from Ghost 9.0 to 14.0. The upgrade went fine and so did my first backup. However, when I tried to do another backup today the creation of the recovery point stalled at 5%. I have tried rebooting, but it does not seem to help. I also deleted the backup job and recreated it, but it always stalls at the same place. I did some searching on the net and found a suggestion to remove "un-used" drives and to try again. By chance I did have a an "extra" USB drive connected to my system yesterday when Ghost was installed and I also routinely connect my Blackberry which appears as a storage device. I removed the devices, but it did not seem to help.
After literally hours of attempting to get Ghost to get past 5% it "mysteriously" started working as I began my entry on the forum. I have no idea what is going on, but surely Ghost should not routinely hang at 5%. Any ideas or suggestions for things I should be looking for?
I am running Windows XP SP2 and am backing my system up to an external (USB) 500gb drive.
Thanks....
