ATI 2009: "Failed to Backup File or Folder " Error. Why?

Just purchased a 1TB external USB drive (Seagate), and have performed a full System backup onto that drive as well as set up separate backups on folders such as "My Documents", which contain a vast number of music and photo files that are updated regularly.

When I first performed the full backup of "My Documents", as well as whenever a scheduled incremental backup starts, I get the message:

Failed to Backup File or Folder "

When this pops up, I'm given the option to "Retry", "Ignore", "Ignore All", etc. This error occurs whether the task automatically scheduled to occur, or if I initiate the backup manually.

When I click 'Ignore', the backup proceeds and completes just fine. The problem is that I have to physically click the 'Ignore' button for the backup to proceed. Not as automatic as I had hoped.

What am I doing wrong? I've set the external drive to always be 'On' vs. in a sleep mode. Makes no difference. What would give ATI the impression that there is a problem with backing up a file/folder, when 'Ignoring' that problem allows the backup to proceed?

Thx in advance for the help!

 

Hi,

do you use the brand new version of Ti2009 (build 9709) ?

If not, download it using Acronis website and check whether the problem persist.



ByTheWay:
You say:

The blue and the red coloured parts doesn't fit.
If you backup "MyDocuments" the you do a 'folder-backup' and never a FULL-backup.
Or do I misunderstand?

 

Have you run chkdsk to see if there are any prob files on the disk that show up in the table but can't be properly accessed?

 

Shieber has a good point here. Run a "chkdsk /r" on your harddisk. This fixed a similar problem on my computer.
