I saw a similar post from six months ago, "Ghost 14 - backup of 200gb data stalls at 94% ", but the user decided not to pursue it.
I have a WinXP Pro SP3 desktop with a 400GB mirrored SATA RAID, but it's only 145GB full. With Ghost 14, I was able to create the very first recovery point for the entire drive (Backup My Computer) to an external 1TB SATA drive through USB, early last month. Over a month later, Ghost is now creating a completely new recovery point (as expected). However, it fails to complete and comes back with the error "unable to write to file" with error E7D1001F and EBAB03F1. The 1TB drive still has 500GB of free space.
Here are my settings:
- compression: standard
- verify recovery point after creation
- limit recovery points - limit 3
- enable search engine support
- include system and temporary files
I have successfully created second monthly Ghost 14 backups on two other computers to the same external 1TB SATA drive above, through USB. One PC desktop has WinXP Pro SP3 and almost the same hardware configuration as the one above, but with only 55GB used of a 250GB mirrored RAID. The other is a Vista Business SP1 laptop with a single 160GB non-RAID SATA drive, of which only 35GB is used. No problems with those at all.
I would appreciate any suggestions. Are there any backup logs I can send for analysis?
Thanks!
