Result of my attempted backup

Hello again,

 

As you can see from the image above, there was an issue with my backup and none of it saved, the rest of the error info that I could copy is:

 

22/05/2025 10:45:03 :: Error: Cannot process pending I/O request (offset: 598344892416, size: 65536): async reader terminated Corrupted block processing thread failed unexpectedly Failed to upload disk. Skipped arguments: :EmulatedDiskSpec>]; Agent failed to process method {DataTransfer.SyncDisk}. Exception from server: Cannot process pending I/O request (offset: 598344892416, size: 65536): async reader terminated Unable to retrieve next block transmission command. Number of already processed blocks: :453602]. Failed to download disk 'FA96EA97'

 

Any advice on how to proceed?

 

Thanks!

Hi ​@anon it looks like you might have errors on your disk. If you're using Windows as it appears you are, I suggest you run chdsk to check bad sectors on your disk and to repair any that are bad.

After, re-attempt your backup and see how it goes. 

Best. 

Thanks for the quick response and for the link (E: and yes, I am on W10, not sure how I keep forgetting to mention that lol), I feared this might be the case, but I’ll get on the checking today and see how it goes, hopefully it isn’t too bad (though doing this without a current backup is very stressful! 😖)

 

Hi ​@anon - Well..as you can see in your error screenshot, Veeam detected errors on your disk...so it does indeed look like that’s the issue. If chkdsk doesn’t work out too well, Internet search for other free tools to attempt the same task. Though checking and repairing bad hard drive sectors/blocks generally is non-disruptive, it’s highly advisable to attach a USB to your computer and copy pertinent files and/or folders to it for a manual backup before running the utilities.

And, I wasn’t aware of this, but doing a bit more research on that warning error, it appears Veeam has a KB on it:

They suggest to do exactly as I’ve already recommended 😊

Yeah, I had realised after replying that this was probably the best thing to do just in case, gonna get on that in a bit, then run chkdsk and see how it goes.

 

Thanks again for the help!

No problem ​@anon . Keep me posted. 

Hi ​@anon - were you able to check out your disk? Did it help? Any update on how your issue is going?

Just following up here.

Thanks.
