Well your talking about a extremely large file server so I doubt the 
file system would come into question as the problem. I would love to 
exlude some of the user stuff but that would defeat the purpose. The 
timeout is set to 61 hours right now. The backup only takes about a day 
and a half. I can try the multi flow to see what happens.
