Cant backup to external Hard drive
Hi, I've been using Acronis for some years. I need to take a back-up to an external drive for offsite storage. On trying to backup 940GB of data it only backs up the first 30GB then thinks its complete. I've tried two different external drive and it does roughly the same on both. If I back-up to an internal drive it works ok! I'm not sure where to look for this issue any advice would be welcome. I have no error mesages. Thanks Al

Thanks for this, I'll have to have another go at doing a backup to the external hard drive to answer your questions (I deleted the ones I tried to take).
I'll get back to you asap and thanks for looking at this.

Hi Steve, Looking at the logs it seemed to be saying that it could not find the external HDD.
It also said that the I/o was overloaded..
Anyway, after a format of the drive and trying again it worked fine. unfortunately I have no idea why.
Thanks for your help in sorting this.

Al, glad that your drive looks to be ok after the format, I would guess that you will be keeping an eye on it for some time to come...!
