Error while making incremental image backup

general discussion

I’m experiencing some problems while trying to create incremental image backup.
Urbackup v1.2.3 installed on Debian Wheezy. With client v1.2 installed on win7 home premium.

Here’s log from server side:
2013-08-15 15:14:28(info): Starting incremental image backup…
2013-08-15 15:14:32(info): Transferred 27.9024 MB - Average speed: 60.2632 MBit/s

2013-08-15 15:16:36(error): Backup not complete because of connection problems

Log from debug.log (client side):
2013-08-15 15:37:17: WARNING: Removing reference because restart own was specified and only own tokens are present
2013-08-15 15:38:39: WARNING: Reading from device failed. Retrying.

2013-08-15 15:39:23: ERROR: Error while reading from shadow copy device -2

I forgot to mention that I already tried power cycling both server and client.
This error is repeated every few minutes as server is constantly trying to pull image from client.

Any ideas how can I get this working :) ?

Can you take a look into the system event log of the client to see if there are any Volume Shadow Copy errors?

The only information about VVS I can find in event log are:
The VSS service is shutting down due to idle timeout. - Not marked as an error.

But while scanning through events I can see:
The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block.

I’ll scan for bad sectors, run chkdisk /f /r and get back with news if it helped.

  • Edit -
    Few bad sectors were causing this problem.
    Backup went without any problems after fixing them and running chkdisk to make sure that ntfs is clean.

Thanks for help :)
