What is the solution to get past this Windows Server Backup (WSB) failure and error 2155348010? What is the correct process to have WSB use a 3TB external drive with 4096 sector size as the destination drive?
I am using a Western Digital (WD) Red 3TB drive in a usb 3.0 docking station as the WSB destination disk with the recommended destination setting (which appears to setup fine, but the schedule job fails after 385gb, so something worked).
The similar job works fine with WD Red 1TB drive, so it must be the 4096 sector size vs 512 size difference and VHD. I know there has been work done with 2012 to use 4096 sector size drives, but is this available in WSB with vhdx? Can vhdx be used instead of vhd with Windows Server 2012 Backup, and how to do it?
WD has a Quick Format tool which may work to emulate 512 sector size, but WSB reformats a new disk, so how to use the WD tool with WSB accepting the WD formatting?
There is a lengthy discussion at the following post (immediately scroll to the end), but not specific to Windows Server 2012. What is the MS recommendation for version 2012?
