How Many Times Do You Do A Soft Reset?

Just curious. How many time a day do you do a soft reset on your 800w?

I do it about once a day.

Re: How Many Times Do You Do A Soft Reset?

I voted once a day because I reset after my daily backup at 4:00am. Other than this I have not had to soft reset.

Manually, rarely.

Automatically, I run Sprite Backup, which performs a soft reset prior to the backup.

Re: How Many Times Do You Do A Soft Reset?

At least once per day, and hard reset weekly. This fool device is more buggy than any Mogul tried to be.

Re: How Many Times Do You Do A Soft Reset?

Once a day when the device is backed up. Other than that, the device has had NO resets on its own and none that I have had to execute except as a result of playing too hard.

Buggy? I hated my Mogul.

It's your software! I never get bugs, but I only install basic things. I haven't soft reset for two weeks, and that was when I updated some software. Any computer would be buggy running buggy programs.

Re: How Many Times Do You Do A Soft Reset?

I'm with pretty much everyone else here....I think this thing runs INCREDIBLY stable certainly compared to the Mogul. We'll call it once a day due to software installs or backups too but it's not out of necessity.
