hi David,
would really propose to start with only a full backup of your system drive
(C:\) ygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/c:/
and when finished add the other partition(s?) (D:\):
ygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/d:/
try to set a smaller MTU if using ADSL - maybe 1492 (at least in my country it
works as expected)
and i would really really recomment reading of
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=Common_backup_excludes
and as you try to backup a windows-server:
don't expect you can recover it using backuppc :)
see:
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/limitations.html#don_t_expect_to_reconstruct_a_complete_winxx_drive
please see the rest of comments within your post
Greetings
Mike

first of all - it's for shure your download-speed you are talking about :)
meaning: the bottleneck lies within the uplink of your windows-client (well:
server)
is it really that 16M?

seems like a windows-server providing dhcp-services to the clients
this file is in use and can not be backed up using your concept

great ;)
backing up swapfiles, RAM and pagefiles are a NO-NO

these are MySQL-Databases
they can not be backed up when in use
you have to make an offline-copy of that DB's
