1111249	2010-06-18 01:21:00	Hmm... I like the look of it but it needs to be able to run reliably, completely unattended, in the middle of the night, one night a week.	wratterus (105)
1111250	2010-06-18 01:23:00	I use windows 7 backup without issue.......have you check that VSS is running?, open files are shadow copied before backing up, but if not running would account for a corrupted file\drive message....	SolMiester (139)

Good thought, do you know if the service should be manual start or auto?	wratterus (105)
1111252	2010-06-18 01:41:00	Good thought, do you know if the service should be manual start or auto? auto..... There are 2 services, MS shadow copy provider and volume shadow copy...if this doesnt help...i would think there really is an issue with the drive......	SolMiester (139)

Sweet, will double check those. I would have thought that windows backup would have configured those services as necessary when it was setup. :confused:	wratterus (105)

I would have thought that windows backup would have configured those services as necessary when it was setup. :confused: Yes, I would too!...I'm guessing they use shadow copy, most open file apps do!...just checked the work pc which while doesnt have backup scheduled, has had a backup run, but doesnt have either of the services running.... I am starting to think its the drive, does it backup other files okay?	SolMiester (139)

I am starting to think its the drive, does it backup other files okay? Yeah it's fine, no issues at all. Can copy stuff around/use cobian with no issues. Chkdsk found no problems and the drive passed a diag.	wratterus (105)
1111256	2010-06-30 22:12:00	Changing those services to Auto appears to have fixed the problem, 2 backups have run without issue so far. :badpc: Cheers for the help Sol. :thumbs:	wratterus (105)
