A few weeks ago I reported inability to restore a file (times out),
except to the backup server itself.
After a few weeks and getting several people involved, we've discovered
the cause: our router has a sensitivity to a certain sequence of
characters of data ... and this file had that sequence! There is a
fix available to the router and it should be applied next week.
Thanks to all who offered suggestions!
cheers, wayne
