Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Hardware / May 2008Backup failure 0x8007045D (I/O device error)
I have been backing up files every week and a complete backup every month to a 250G external drive, using the Vista Business Backup Center. Today I was trying to do the complete backup. All went well until about halfway through the process, I got the I/O device error 0x8007045D. What is happening and how do I fix it? Thanks. Mike I am considering this question answered and solved. See thread titled "Unsuccessful backup. I/O device error (0x8007045D)" and check the reply by noggin1228. Also see my post in the same thread. > I have been backing up files every week and a complete backup every month to > a 250G external drive, using the Vista Business Backup Center.

Mike So what do I do when this doesn't work?  Signaturescojew >So what do I do when this doesn't work? When what doesn't work? Learn to quote what you are replying to. What is there to quote- only one solution was presented anywhere on either this thread or the one referred to- removal of shadow copies. That didn't work for me or several others from a lot of what I've read. I've tried brand new back up and I've tried restarting the same back up. I've cleaned out the restore points and continue to get the same error. Any suggestions? Don't get ignorant with me and I won't be ignorant with you. Signaturescojew He's not being ignorant with you. You never mentioned another thread.

I assumed that someone reading the thread would see the answers that had been provided and being familiar with the solution offered, would know what I was saying. But I forget, never assume. Of course I didn't refer to another thread, my reply was to the statement immediately preceding mine in which a link to another thread with a potential solution was mentioned. Didn't realize that I would need to include that in the post immediately following, but now I know. Meanwhile, I still get error 0x8007045D when backing up my hard drive. I have cleared the restor points, even reformatted the back up drive. I've also scanned it for bad sectors and it passes with flying colors. Any suggestions for the real matter at hand?

If you are connecting through a usb hub try connecting directly. Please post back with any result. > I apologize then.

I can copy my entire Documents folder onto the drive, it only has error when I run Vista's back-up program. I'm also connecting directly into the HP Pavilion laptop.

You did not say whether or not you have been able to use the drive with another computer. If you have another usb cable you might try switching (to eliminate the cable as an issue). One easy way to test is to use a third party solution. Acronis True Image is available as a fully functional 30-day trial for download. I suggest that you download and install ACI (trial) and see if you can make file backups and image backups using the external drive. That would help identify the possible problem as the Vista software or the drive. > It is an external hard drive.

The problem is that you are posting through a web site (in this case, a web site that is using the vBulletin software to access newsgroups) but you are adding to a thread on that site that either never was posted to this actual newsgroup or it's rolled off everyone's newsreader. The Windows newsgroups seem to be rife with postings similar to yours and I have made it a point not to respond to messages that clearly have been posted directly to this or other newsgroups via personal newsreader software....there's just to much hassle and confusion to my point of view. > Colin Barnhorst;1034648 Wrote: >> He's not being ignorant with you.

Brink's site uses that software and he posts from his site. I wonder how many of these goofy posts originate from that site? The problem is that I don't normally utilize these types of forums and only submitted a reply because everyone seems to suggest the same solution (clear restore points and you'll be fine) and it's not working. I never saw anything about quoting before being reprimanded and was insulted at the tone that got interpreted (by me) when receiving the reprimand. There were only two posts on the thread that I was looking at on the forum at technologyquestions.com. Is that not where you all are seeing this? That would explain why the quotes were necessary when I thought I was quite clear since there had only been one post with a solution and it had the reference to the other thread. I thought it was a simple question being asked- if the only solution being offered doesn't fix my problem, are there any other remedies out there? Instead, most of you are concentrating on teaching me the nuances of etiquette for a newsgroup or forum or something. Fix this one problem and you will probably not need to worry about my etiquette because I won't be writing. At this point, I feel like I'm in a burning vehicle and my rescuer is occupied with the flat tire. Please don't continue to lecture me on how to converse or why I didn't know how to converse. Tell me how to eliminate the 0x8007045D error message when I try to run a Vista backup. Nonny;1034925 Wrote: > >scojew wrote: > >> I apologize then.
