WHS reset/backup question

[mmmmmdonuts]

I built my windows home server a while back and I noticed that every time I would either manually or automatically backup my computers the server would need to be manually restarted by turning off the power in order to access it again. Any idea why this happens?

If I shut off backups the server has access forever and does not need to be reset. Is there anyway I can just have it backup without having to restart the server after every single on?

My WHS has been running for months doing nightly automatic backups of my desktop and it never needs to reboot between backups. Seems like something might be awry in your setup. Are you sure your WHS isn't crashing at the end of the backup?

What's the OS of the client(s) and what is the hardware of the server?

-Cool-

WHS says it finished the backup on the machines as far as I can tell, and then I have no access. All the machines that I am using to backing up are running windows 7 x64, some home premium and others ultimate.

My WHS is running on a dual core atom at 1.6 Ghz, with 4gb of ram (3.125 showing). I don't know if any of this makes a difference.
