UMDSmith Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I am just backing up my windows XP system, which is the fileserver for our internal network, onto a maxtor 1 touch HD. As of april 15th, I am getting this error everytime I run it. Trouble writing files, error -1001 (unknown Windows OS error) 4/20/2005 11:13:28 AM: Execution incomplete Remaining: 842032 files, 18.3 GB Completed: 0 files, zero KB Performance: 0.0 MB/minute Duration: 00:01:49 (00:00:03 idle/loading/preparing) Quit at 4/20/2005 11:13 AM The windows system log shows (20 of them over 30 seconds roughly) An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\D during a paging operation. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. There is nothing in the application or security log. When it happens, retrospect completely closes.

RonaldL Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Do you only get this message if you save the backup set onto the Maxtor? Try backing up a folder or two (using subvolumes) to a File Backup Set saved onto a different drive to see if you see the same errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMDSmith Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Okay one second, lemme give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMDSmith Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 That works, I was able to backup folders correctly to the C:, and even managed to backup a folder to the maxtor. Although what I was doing wasn't a backup per say, I was just creating a mirror of the HD. Im not very verse with backup software, but what I initially had on my maxtor was a file by file duplicate of the C drive. Backups seem to work, at least from 1 drive.

UMDSmith Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Duplicating a folders contents onto the maxtor works as well. Just not duplicating everything. Very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMDSmith Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 A full backup appears to be working as well. I'd rather have it duplicate the drive, and only update files that have been changed, but this way could work. From peoples experiences, is it better to duplicate or create backup sets??

UMDSmith Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Correction, it did a portion of the backup, then lost connection with the device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonaldL Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 So it seems like there are some issues with communicating with the Maxtor if backups to the local machine worked fine. I would suggest trying different USB (or firewire) cables or plugging it into a different port. It would be worthwhile to try it on a different machine also. If you see the same kinds of errors there, that would indicate some kind of issue with the drive itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UMDSmith Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Well, just for comparison sake. I just used windows XP backup to the maxtor and it completed without issue. Over 20GB. It isn't what I want per say, as I'd rather have a duplicate drive instead of a backup, but I guess it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
