Did you try getting rid of the prefs file? Do not trash it, but move it
away, then try launching NCU. You might have a couple of settings to
set, though. Nothing major.
FYI, I'm also using NCU 1.0 on a B&W G3, connected to a ethernet hub, to
which my 2100 is also connected using the Farallon PN895 card. I'm using
Mac OS 9.0.4, though. I can backup without any problem.
When you say that the backup fails, how long after you start it does it
fail? Is it failing always at the same place? Do you know what was being
backed up when the error happened?
