Re: SBS 2003 backup



Hi,

First, I am sorry for the delayed response. Sorry for the inconvenience it
may bring to you.

According to your description, I think your issue may due to the hard
drive. The file system RAW refers to an unformatted drive, or an
unpartitioned drive. If the volume filesystem type information is
unavailable, attempting CHKDSK against the volume will result in the
message you've met. And this may lead to backup failed on some files.

I would like to suggest that you contact the hard drive's manufacturer to
check whether they are healthy. And if possible, please backup your files
on the problematic hard drive by copy them to another place. Then format it
and run checkdsk again. Also, you may like change the ATA cable as a test.

Hope it helps.

If the problem still happens, please help to send the information which I
mentioned in my previous reply for further analysis.

Thanks for your time and cooperation. I am looking forward your reply.

Best regards,

Gary Wang(MSFT)

| Thank you both for your replies.
|
| Here is where we stand up to this point:
|
| Both clientâ??s use Trend Micro Client/Server/Messaging/ Security Suite
for
| SMB, we have not specifically created exclusions for these clients nor
any of
| our other clients that do backup without error.
|
| One of the clientâ??s backups started working the following night (the
client
| with the external Rev), only had the single failed backup.
|
| The other client continues to fail with the above error (the client with
the
| internal ATAPI Rev). I have performed a fresh boot of the operating
system
| and continue to receive the error. The data backs up correctly, it is
just
| the System State portion that the backup fails with. MSCONFIG and
services
| applets have the OS and antivirus applications, I am uncomfortable
disabling
| either of these items as this is an in-production server. When running
the
| CHKDSK command on the rev drive, I receive the following reply:
|
| The type of the file system is RAW.
| Cannot lock current drive.
| CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives.
|
| The CD drive is and has been empty. IBMâ??s Tivoli TSM does not appear to
be
| installed.
|
| Do you have any other ideas?
