Backup of 1.4TB disk failing with 0x4000A error code
I am running a fully updated XP SP3. My ATIH2010 is the latest copy, build 7046. I am trying to backup my data disk that has a bit less than 1.4 TB of data. I am backing up to a Rosewill Hard Drive Dock, where I shuttle between 2 1.5 TB drives. Once I get clean backups, one drive will be in my safety deposit box, the other will be doing weekly full backups and nightly differential backups.
Backing up to the first drive succeeded. Now I am trying to backup to the second drive and I have received a number of failures. The error message are all like this:
"Failed to back up file or folder 'D:\Disk Backup/Clone Disk/Cloned Folders/My Documents/My Auctions/2004/In Process'.
Error occurred while creating the file. (0x4000A)"
The job usually (maybe always) happens early on in the backup process, perhaps a couple of hours in.
Note that I have run chkdsk on drive D and it is clean. I have attached a log file. Please let me know how to fix this problem.
Thanks.

Hello Yana-
Thanks for a speedy reply.
I followed your instructions. Now ATIH does not even start. Attached is a screenshot of the error message. Also attached is the AcronisInfo.zip file produced by AcronisInfo.
Please let me know how to proceed.

Hello Bill,
We're really sorry for the difficulties you've experienced.
Most likely, the error you have is caused by the malfunction of Acronis SnapAPI driver, so you need to upgrade it.
I have sent you a Private Message with a download link yo the latest version of Acronis SnapAPI driver, please install it, reboot your machine and check if the issue still persists.
If Acronis True Image will error out again with the same message, please gather a new AcronisInfo output and submit a support request with the collected information.
We are looking forward to hearing back from you at your earliest convenience.
Thank you.

Hello Ilya-
Same problem although the error message is a bit different. The screenshot is attached along with the output of AcronisInfo.
A couple of other things:
- I am not going to purchase a support program. If you cannot offer quality support for your products I will find vendors who do.
- I don't understand why I had to install updated SnapAPI drivers today. I was given a link yesterday for older drivers. Why wasn't I given the latest drivers the first time?
Thanks. I hope to have a solution soon.
-Bill
