Failed to read data from the disk.
I am using True Image Home 11.0 (Build 8,101) on Windows XP SP2.
I have been running a nightly differential backup task onto a 500 Gb external hard drive, followed by a verification task, for about a month now. Three nights ago, and for each night since, the backup task runs OK but verification task returns the error:
E00070003: Failed to read data from the disk.
A possible reason might be bad sectors on the disk.
I ran a full CHKDSK on the external drive (which takes awhile on a 500 Gb drive!) yesterday, but CHKDSK reported no problems and made no fixes.
Acronis reported the same error with verification again last night.
Suggestions?

Here's another data point. I executed both the differential backup and the verification manually rather than as a scheduled task and both executed without errors.
