TI Home 2011 failed backups

Thread needs solution

Despite its horrible UI (addressed in other threads on the forum), I'm slowly learning my way around TI Home 2011 (build 6696). I neither need nor use all of its bells and whistles, as I do only individual manual backups of the four partitions on my primary hard drive.

However, I do have two major problems: 

   1.  When backing up to a 1TB eSATA (external) hard drive,  when the backup and validation complete, I get a message that "The last backup has failed". If I immediately re-validate the newly created backup, I get a message that "Operation has successfully completed".  The question is whether I actually have a failed backup if the validation appears to be OK.

   2.  When backing up to a 500GB external USB hard drive, the backups only partially complete, then stop.  This does not happen if I back up to my secondary internal drive.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

For troubleshooting purposes, the next step I would take would be to boot from the Rescue CD and perform all the same backups and include validation as part of the task.

The results might give us a starting point for more troubleshooting.
