I have all of my servers on these. I buy them from High-Rely. While they can
be USB, I tend to install the E-Sata card and connect them that way. Much
faster backup. So far I have not had any issues. On this server they have
been working well for 2 years.
The logs indicate the issue appears to be opening a drive and files on the
server.

Looking at the number of people here (including me who are suddenly having
problems with backups to external USB HDDs it sounds like MS have put out an
update that has broken NTBackup when it's writing to external USB HDD?
Anyone from MS looking in?

Some might suggest you boot off a bootable Server CD. Run chkdsk /p on
all drives. Run /r on drives that report issues.
If you are backing up to a usb hard drive you might make sure you have
plenty of room to do the backup. If you have some growth then the
backup might not fit in the space left on the usb drive.
Do what is in logfile.txt? I looked at two servers and I do not see
that file. You might be able to delete it.

Hi Joe:See what SBS support is working on
The log files by themselves are rarely definitive. What errors are in your
event logs?
What make/model/type of tape drive?
What make/model of controller?
How long since the tape drive has been cleaned?
How long / many cleanings since the cleaning cartridge has been replaced?

Please post the resolution to
your issue so that all can benefit.

I looked at the logs and the backup utility can't seem to open any dive and
is calling most of the files corrupt.
Here is an example:
****************************
WARNING: Portions of "\WINDOWS\system32\logfile.txt" cannot be read. The
backed up data is corrupt or incomplete.
This file will not restore correctly.
Warning: Unable to open "C:\WINDOWS\system32\login.cmd" - skipped.
Reason: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error
Backup started on 9/4/2008 at 10:30 PM.
Warning: Unable to open "E:\" - skipped.
Reason: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error
*********************************
I tried opening logfile.txt. I could only open it in notepad, but it
opened
ok. However this file is now 63 MEGABYTES in size and growing. That seems
huge!!
I assume all I can do is run is run ckeck disk. But isn't that logfile
absurdly large?
Also E: is my exchange drive and noone is having any trouble with
exchange -
Yet
This has been going on for at least 3 weeks acording to the backup logs
