By any chance, is the drive/folder that you are putting the ntbackup image on compressed? Many many times I have run into problems when you start putting files into a compressed folder that exceed several tens of gigabytes. NTFS compression just basically vomits all over itself.

In fact, the delayed write errors got so bad, it corrupted my active directory on the server and I had to demote and promote it to get it working again. What's odd as I have two identical servers (hardware specs) - both are backed up to a USB drive. Only one server has the delayed write errors everytime I do backups. It's odd. The server is an older ML350 G3 model with a crappy 532 RAID controller (32mb) with no write cache whatsoever.

I've been getting backups of the Exchange databases, however, I was getting errors in the validation of the ntbackup but now, I can't get any ntbackup to work. Now, after I have moved Sharepoint databases in other partition I solved issues that I had with very low space in the C drive. I'm getting these two errors: Event ID: 8001 Source: ntbackup End Backup of 'C:' 'Warnings or errors were encountered.' Event ID: 12289 Source: VSS Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error DeviceIoControl(\\?\Volume{71969a8f-0f27-11da-9cb2-806e6f6e6963} - 00000130,0x0053c020,000390B8,0,000380B0,4096,[0]). hr = 0x80070079. I'm getting errors in write delays when trying to run the ntbackup against an external USB drive I've requested to Microsoft this hotfix: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=6294451 Since I read this: http://www.eggheadcafe.com/forumarchives/windowsserversbs/Dec2005/post254784 67.asp Am I looking at the right place?
