More than likely it is a problem with the Linux reverse engineered
support for a Windows proprietary file system. Why back up to NTFS?

Originally I was backing up across the LAN to the drive attached to my XP workstation.
That would isolate the error if it was caused by the NTFS driver. I would use a linux supported filesystem unless you *need* to be able to look at these dump files from a windows workstation.


Could reformat the disk for ext2/3 & install ext2ifs on the windows box:

While I haven't much heavy use or testing, it's worked well for me.
