Re: file corruption network drive XR500

If someone told me what is happening, I would not believe them. I have an 8TB drive usb connected to XR500 with the latest firmware. Been working great for a year or so. There are (at least) 3 W10 computers Ethernet connected to the drive. Been working perfectly for a year or so.
I back these machine up regularly to the drive. I rarely have to do a restore but when I do, it has worked perfectly several times. I use EaseUS ToDo backup ... purchased version.
A couple of weeks ago, I did have a need to restore to one of the machines. ToDo errored with a read(?) error. I shut down ToDo and the machine failed to boot. Long story short, the machine's C: partition was unallocated. I had to install W10 from scratch. Happens every time I try a restore from that drive with ToDo to any machine.
Since this, I have not tried a Backup ... don't know if it fails or not.
I ejected the drive from the router and did a disk check on it. No problems.
Copied the backup file(s) from network drive to a local drive. Tried the restore that way and it worked fine.
Don't know whether the problem is ToDo or the router. I seriously doubt it is the drive. and I don't suspect a bad cable. I have no problems copying to or from the networked drive. As far as I know, only with ToDo (restores?)
Comments, questions, criticisms, suggestions etc are appreciated in advance.

Re: file corruption network drive XR500
Router plugged into extender. I will move it to a wall plug. I get the same problem with drive plugged into either USB port on the router. I have a Gearhead account. I will take this to them. Thank you for your time and advice.
