Hello,
I'm having problems with our Windows Server backup at our business, we use the backup on a daily rotation and backs up to 2x 2TB drives and has worked for ages until a few days ago when it started failing and now more recently its completing with errors.
Our server backs up the following:
- System Reserved
- C:\
- E:\ (DATA)
- Bare Metal Recovery
- System State
Both C:\ & Bare Metal Recovery fail but the other 2 complete with no issues. Looking at the logs it states: "Backup of volume C: has failed. The drive cannot find the sector requested." I have found other threads out there with the same problems and possible solutions but none of those have solved the issue. These are some of the things i've done but its a live server so i cant take it down that often:
- CHKDSK both drives with no issues and event viewer states they are healthy
- Attempted a manual backup
- Recreated a scheduled backup
- Formatted the older drive then tried a manual backup
- Rebooted the server
- Checked drive(s) capacity - they arent full
I've also seen people have had issues with HP ProLiant DL350's Gen8 and DL380's Gen8 and that shrinking the C:\ would fix the issue but we never had this issue as its not a brand new server.
We have a HP ProLiant DL380e Gen8 with 2012 Standard.
Any other ideas?
