I have tried recently to change the type of backups with Ghost 12. I followed the steps I found in this forum to create a recovery point. I have tried several times to create a new recovery point but after 8 to 12% complete, Ghost tells me it has "lost connection with the service" and obviously does not creste the recovery point. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Are you creating your recovery point to another pc on a local network?  That message seems to imply that there was a network tcpip error and the connection between the two pc's was lost.

May require some network debugging to be sure there is no other network traffic or errors occuring.

I've seen erratic problems with some older do-it-yourself usb enclosures and usb drives and earlier motherboards.  Sometimes the chipset or usb i/o gets an error.  The usb bus is shared so if there were any other activity on the bus, could theoretically cause higher likelihood of errors.

Also, when doing Ghost image backups, large writes are issued at high speed over the usb interface, so any problems can be magnified.

I've never heard of "reconnect to service" option, so that is nice.

Glad it's working, but maybe these comments help explain possibilities, if the problem reoccurs.
