Failed to read from sector 63

I've read other threads here about this error message and I've just started getting it myself when starting a scheduled backup in TI10 to my external USB HD. If I click 'ignore' the dialogue flags up another defective sector but if I click 'ignore all' the backup starts - and verifies OK. Manually started backups don't generate this message.

I don't believe this is a disk issue as I have deleted and recreated the partition on the removable disk and checked the structure with three different disk checkers. If anyone has resolved this problem, I'd like to hear about it!

 

How did you check the structure of the disk?

Did you check both disks?

What build of TI 10 are you using?

If you boot from the TI Recovery CD, do you get the same errors?

Apologies for the delay in responding to your posting. The real world interfered in my life and I was away from my computers!

Your solution worked. Replacing snapapi.dll solved the problem and backups are now starting successfully again. Many thanks
