I don't think you need logs to figure out that the problem is that it's a Windows based NAS device. :) Seriously, we had BSD based NAS devices one place I worked, and the company making them switched to Win2k3 and after we had one or two do exactly what you're talking about, we just started building our own based on RedHat or BSD. Same hardware (we just formatted the drives on one of the ones that came with w2k3) and we never had another moment's problem with them. In other news... Does the archiver actually connect to the database?
