AOMEI Backupper?

I ran this the other day and backed up C: and it completed without issue.

I then ran it for D: and F: drives but it did not complete and gave code 33. It was saying D: was the drive with issue.

Which states the following from AOMEI site FAQ...

Q: Information code 33: Failed to read sector (with bad sector)​

Solution:


1) When you get the error during backup, please reboot the computer and then recreate the backup task to run. When you create the task, please click "Options"-->"Backup Mode", then select "Use AOMEI Backup Service" under Backup Service. And, before creating task, please also click the three-line on the upper right corner, click Settings-->"Backup Mode", then select "Use AOMEI Backup Service" under Backup Service. In addition, please close other running applications when you do the backup.


2) When you get the error during clone, please try to delete partitions on the target disk, and then do the system or disk clone again. Before cloning, please try the following things:
a. Please press Win+R, then run "cmd" to open Command Prompt, then run chkdsk /r to check and repair C: drive.
b. Please defrag for C: drive.
c. Please press Win+R, then run "services.msc" to open the service manager, then check if the "Volume Shadow Copy" is using the "Automatic" type.
d. Please Win+R, then run "cmd" to open Command Prompt, then run the following commands to restart Vss service. net stop vss net start vss
e. Close all running other applications, and then do the clone.

I just finished running a chkdsk /f /r /x on D: drive and it came back as...

I see results like that, I buy a new drive and copy everything over before it dies.
But I am paranoid after a devastating fail of a drive (3 actually in a month, all same brand/model)

Results like what? I'm not seeing anything abnormal.

Like I said, I am paranoid
260kb in bad sectors

It could say 1kb in bad sectors and I freak out. I lost 10 years of design work.

NTFS is supposedly self healing. Try Aomei again

If you are concerned you could scan the affected partition with something like diskgenius free version and see what it says

I have AOMEI partition Assistant. What would I run in it?

Hi @udidwht,

Apart from Chkdsk have you tried running something like CrystalDiskinfo which gives a lot of information about the condition of hard drives?

Has it got something like surface test ?

you could try this in part assist

does the target (disk you're cloning to) have more than 3 partitions? if so, do this for the target disk:

Open Command Prompt as Admin
Type Diskpart (press Enter)
Type List disk (press Enter)
Type select disk # (# = number of destination disk cloning to (in listed disks))
Type Clean (press Enter)
Type Convert GPT (press Enter)
Type exit (press Enter)
Type exit (Again (press Enter))

Just (1) partition (8TB drive)

Update:

Backup finished (D & F) and it's now verifying the integrity.
