Are the drives formatted NTFS?

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?

Thanks,
Mark
