From: Mark Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, June 20, 2011 11:35 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: W2K8 R2 failing to backup to external USB HD I have 2 servers at home running W2K8 R2. 1 has a 3TB Buffalo Ext USB connected to it and the other has 3TB WD My Book Ext USB connected. I try having the built-in Windows Backup software backup each server to it's connected USB drive. Both servers fail with the error: The backup operation that started at '2011-06-20T14:29:53.105029300Z' has failed with following error code '2155348010' (One of the backup files could not be created.). Please review the event details for a solution, and then rerun the backup operation once the issue is resolved. From the little amount of research I've done, Windows Backup seems to have an issue with 4k sector drives. I haven't been able to verify yet if my 2 USB drives have 4k sectors. I'm just wondering if anyone has run into this issue and have any solutions. Maybe a HD utility or free/cheap backup software to use in place of the built-in?
