This site is great. I've got an answer for my previous question. This is another problem; I have some other problems also.
I will write my question one by one please look at this and try to give me a solution.
I am trying to finish a backup on a W2K8 STD Server through an external USB drive. The devices I am using are 120GB Samsung S1 Mini. What I noticed is that I can’t complete or finish a scheduled or an on-demand backup towards these devices. When I try to attempt a backup, I automatically get this error and when this error is generated the backup will stop. The error that displays is this one:
	"One of the backup files could not be created. Detailed Error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error"
	A System event log error is also generated:

I have tried several of these drives without success. I can move/copy/create/delete files to and from these devices through Explorer and I am able to complete a backup to an external drive from another mfg.
Thanks.
