Delayed Write Failed

Dear all

I have a problem with backup up some files on USB drive on a WXP SP2 machine. Basically what I am trying to do is copying a 95GB .BKF file from a SATA HDD onto a USB HDD (external connected through USB 2.0). The process is being initated by robocopy with the use of a script.

Problem is that sometimes transfer suceeds but most of the times it fails and gives this error:

I tried replacing RAM, updating BIOS, changing USB cable, changing USB port, tweaking with cache sizes, increasing virtual memory ....all this in vain.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

HELLO??? any help????

:notworthy:

I tried everything to solve this problem and still no luck. I guess this thread could be closed.

I created a script with robocopy and NTBACKUP and now this is happening!! Trnafser is being done IDE-disk-to-IDE-disk

Can someone advise what might the problem be?

I have no knowledge on your problem but a web search with "ASK" has many hits.
Have you read MS info.
