texesa Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hi All, When I eject my external USB hard disk whilst doing a backup, attach another USB hard disk and change the drive letter; the script always fails about 2 mins after. The error I get is 'unable to make directory'. Anyone else had this problem ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Let's see if I get this. You are backing up to or from a USB drive and you just pull the drive's plug while the backup is running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texesa Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hi, Sorry for the confusion. When i'm backing up data over the network via a different script to the local internal hard disk, the script / backup then fails when I eject my external hard disk. Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem. However, I have noticed if you pause the backup script then eject the external hard disk, then resume the script it then appears fine. Weird !
