Error codes @ Backup to External Drive

I'd  very much appreciate anyones ideas about this...  While attempting to do a backup using the Lenovo Toolbox to an exterior drive I get the following error codes;  1)  Error Code - F Copier Path not found: Z:\tutos  2) Path not found: Z:\preboot utils|pretools\X86\boot   Does anyone know what these error codes mean?  Should I contact tech support for solution?
I thought I'd ask here and seek advice first.   Thanks
Solved!

Hi,
first some short intro, so that we are on the same page with the process, that is used in here:
- it is not Toolbox, but it is the Rescue and Recovery application, that is performing this backup. Toolbox is just a shortcut GUI, that is starting this application.
- the default configuration of the RnR application, when backing up to an external media is to make it bootable, so that in case you will not be able to boot up your machine, you will still be able to boot from this HDD and backup your data, or do a full restore.
- to make this external HDD bootable, there needs to be some changes made to the HDD (format,....) and then the application need to copy to this external HDD bootable files, and of course also the WINPE file, which is the main part for a system bootup
This should be enough for the start. Now, the exact error messages, that you are getting belong exatly to the part, where the application is copying bootable files to this external HDD so that it can be made bootable. And the files cannot be detected, or are no longer persent on the local HDD on the place, where there were originally placed/installed.
If it is possible, then you can either change the default configuration in the RnR GUI to not make this HDD bootable, or you can just clik Ok,ok,ok,... untill it will be over with this cipying of the bootable files. Then it shoudl proceed with the main backu procedure and you will no longer see this kind of error messages, because to make an external HDD bootable is a one-time situation.
However, that is then of course the disadvantage, that the HDD will not be bootable, which it not that much ideal.
What I think might be the root cause is that the original partition, where the files were located was deleted, or modified.
Can you confirm this?
Cheers

  • Help please! error code:  a valid dvd drive could not be found  [-70012]

    Hi,
    Although I am able to play cds and bootable discs, I am unable to play dvds on my LaCie d2 DVD-RW Firewire Drive. I get an error code:
    a valid dvd drive could not be found -70012
    Is anyone able to help? I did see one other post listed with this error code, but that person's results seem to be no longer valid, with outdated links for patches.
    Thanks,
    George

    It's possible that you caused some damage by not "properly" doing the firmware update, but drives with bad firmware typically just don't work, period. Unfortunately, LaCie does not keep the older firmware posted on their site so that you could 'back-flash' the drive to an earlier firmware revision and then re-apply the updated firmware.
    If you have access to a PC that you could put the drive into (as in, removed from the LaCie external enclosure) and know the drive type (the NEC ND-35xx is the most common) you could find older firmware and flashing utilities for the PC, flash the drive to one of those and then drop it back into the LaCie enclosure and flash it back to the current LaCie firmware. No guarantees this will work, though, and you may end up with a totally dead drive.

  • Time Machine backup on external drive no longer working after upgrade to Yosemite

    Can anyone explain why, after upgrade to Yosemite, Time Machine is no loger working? Backup on external drive stops few seconds after it has started. What can I do?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Try running a DVD Lens Cleaner disc through it, a little bit of dust or dirt is all it takes to throw them out and it might just be co-incidental with the upgrade.

  • Using Time Machine to Backup an External Drive (RAID 1)

    Is it possible to backup an external drive to another external drive using Time Machine in Mountain Lion? 
    The following diagram describes what I want to do.  I am basically trying to use Time Machine as an external RAID 1 system.  However, I don't want to buy a RAID 1 box.  I want to have control of TWO OR MORE time machine setups.  I don't want to backup my OS every time.  I simply want to backup one external drive to another external drive.  The drives are 2TB each, so the advice to buy a big hard drive to back everything up on won't work.  Also, I am often swapping drives and would like to use this system for all of my projects and all of my drives.  Any help would be great.  Thanks for your time. 
    NOTE: I am on Lion and wanted to know if this was possible before upgrading. 

    To be clear, TM can back up your external drive perfectly well, provided it's in MacOS format. What it can't do is back up the external drive alone to one destination, and everything else to a different destination.
    As for what you should use instead of TM, I don't really have an opinion. SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner are well regarded. You need to make some decisions about backup strategy before you choose a backup method. TM makes incremental backups, so you can revert to any of several earlier versions of a file. Those third-party products can do that too, though not as efficiently as TM. Also bear in my mind that a single backup is inadequate. You need more than one backup to be safe, and to be truly safe, at least one backup must be stored off-site at all times.

  • Installer LV7.1 - LabVIEW load error code 21: An external subroutine required for execution could not be found.

    Bonjour,
    Je cherche à créer un installer portatif utilisant les drivers NI-DAQmx 8.7.1 et NI-CAN 2.6.0.
    Je dispose d'un code LV 7.1 et j'ai installé l'application builder 7.1.
    Mais une fois l'application installé sur un PC vierge de Labview, j'obtiens le message suivant:
    load error code 21: An external subroutine required for execution could not be found.
    Ce message est répété plusieurs fois (pour différents VIs) puis le programme ne se lance pas.
    J'ai bien veillé à installer les drivers NI-CAN et NI-DAQmx correspondant au préalable sur la machine cible.
    En chercant sur le forum, plusieurs pistes m'ont été proposé:
    La version NI-DAQ
    L'intégration du Run time Engine
    Un problème de DLL
    J'ai vérifié ces 3 points mais cela n'a pas règlé mon problème.
    Résolu !
    Accéder à la solution.

    Bonjour,
    Merci de ta réponse.
    En fait, j'ai bien inclu le runtime engine de Labview qui était effectivement la source de l'erreur.
    L'installation de NI-DAQmx v 8.7.1 provoque la mise à jour de la version du runtime engine (passage de 7.1 à 7.1.1).
    J'ai donc désinstallé Le runtime engine 7.1.1 (ce qui a provoqué la désinstallation de labview et NI-DAQ).
    Puis je suis passé par une version plus ancienne de NI-DAQ (7.2) que j'ai adapté (inclusions de DLL et de VIs).
    Les messages d'erreurs ont alors tout simplement disparus!

  • What is the best way to backup my external drive?

    Since it seems you cannot backup an external drive via Time Capsule (as far as I can tell) does anybody have a good solution for backing up an external drive?  I keep all of my media (roughly 230GBs) on an external drive but I am not backing it up as of now for lack of a solution.
    Thanks in advance

    If the data is from your computer then you have a copy with your Time Machine.  You can use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to clone the hard drive. 

  • -36 I/O Error copying from one external drive to another? Ugh...help?!?

    Hardware:
    Apple Powermac Dual 2.5 GHz G5
    512 MB RAM
    External Drive 1: LaCie 250 GB (Firewire 800) (contains 150 GB data) (formatted MacOS Extended)
    External Drive 2: LaCie 400 GB (Firewire 800) (contains NO DATA) (formatted MacOS Extended Journaled)
    Software:
    Mac OS 10.4.3 (Tiger)
    I've sucessfully run the firmware updater (http://www.lacie.com/support/drivers) "LaCie Update Tool v1.3.3" for both LaCie drives to the latest version - 107.
    Background:
    Before I updated to the latest firmware and before I changed Drive 2 to journaled, I had problems copying files from both drives to the other. I get this error: "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "filename here.ext" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)."
    I did some research (http://www.appleerrorcodes.com/) to discover that Error -36 is an I/O error.
    My goal is to reformat Drive 1 (250GB) to journaled. After some reading, I have decided to do that for both of my external drives.
    Question:
    I'm at the point now where I need to copy the data from Drive 1 to Drive 2 and this error is still occuring. I need to 1) understand why it's happening and 2) find a solution so I can copy this data from Drive 1 to Drive 2.
    Future Question:
    Once the data is copied, I will then reformat to journaled. I'm then going to decide between scheduled backups or setting up a RAID, but I'll post this issue as a separate question. I first need to understand and fix this copy I/O stuff.
    THANKS!
    Dual 2.5 GHz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Using the Disk Utility with the Mac OS, I just realized that I can't verify or repair disk permissions on either of these external LaCie drives. I can on my startup internal disk, but not the external ones. Any idea why?
    I replaced the FW800 cables, but I still cannot copy from one external to the other. The connections are like this:
    Drive 1 (250 GB) is connected to the back of my G5 via FW800.
    Drive 2 (400GB) is connected to Drive 1 via FW800 cable.
    I'm in need of some help!

  • Time Machine Backup on External Drive Stops working after one week

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem with the Time machine backup on an external LaCie drive. After e few days, it suddenly locks up, not performing any backup unless I force-restart my computer and switch off the drive.
    *My setup*:
    - iMac Alu 24 with MacOS X 10.5.1 and 3Gb RAM
    - LaCie external drive 320 Gb - design by Porsche, connected to the FW 400 port of the iMac --> this is the one used for the bakcups, it is left powered on at any time (never switched off)
    - 2 other LaCie external drives 160 Gb - design by Porsche, connected to the FW 400 port of the iMac --> they are generally switched off
    TimeMachine is setup to its default scenario, backing up automatically on the external 320 Gb.
    *Daily usage* :
    - the iMac is set to boot automatically at 6:45
    - I usually switch it off manualy at the end of the day
    - Screen Saver is set to launch after 5 minutes
    - sleep time for computer is set to 1:30 hour
    - display sleep 15 min
    - hard disk are set to sleep whenever possible
    First symptom : the computer never goes to sleep
    Second symptom : I had the following problem already twice since I installed Leopard, once with the original install and today with the updated 10.5.1 version:
    - automatic backups went fine during the whole day : 7:45 8:45 9:45...
    - then an automatic backup starts but never finishes

  • Error copying from one external drive to another

    Hi - I am trying to transfer three large iMovie files from an external Firewire hard drive to an external USB 2.0 hard drive. I have the USB drive connected to my 1GHz TiBook through a PCMCIA card. I have the Firewire drive connected at the TiBook's Firewire port. When I try to copy the files, I get about 1/4th of the way through and then I get the following error message:
    "Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured. (Error code -1309)."
    The three files are about 25GB each, and the problem happens with all of them. I tried copying them altogether and each one individually. I also tried connecting the Firewire drive to the Firewire port on the PCMCIA card. Same problem no matter what I try. I also tried copying my iTunes music folder, which is about 25GB as well, in case file size was an issue. That copied with no problem.
    This is driving me nuts. Why won't these particular files copy? What is "error code -1309"? How can I resolve this issue? Any ideas?

    I have not yet been able to figure out what the problem is. I have checked the iMovie and other forums, both here and elsewhere on the Web, and I have not come across a single post that relates to this problem. The files I have been trying to copy are still on the external drive, and I have used the drive to store and transfer other files to and from my TiBook with no problems. But those three iMovie files, which will open and play from the external drive, STILL won't copy back onto my hard drive.
    The one thought I had involved disk space: Maybe a significant amount (30GB or more) of free space needs to be on the target drive when copying such large files. When I get to a point where I can delete some of the larger files I have been tinkering with, I'll try again.
    In the meantime, any insight from anybody into this issue will still be appreciated.

  • Time Machine Backup on External Drive Invalid sibling link

    I've used time machine to backup macbook air for several months.  From Feb 2011 without any problems until about 2 months ago.  I started to get the message that backups could not be started.
    I realized that the disk would not mount right away.  And after about 10 minutes or more I would get the message that my disk could not be mounted.  The error said my data could be backed up and I should do it right away.
    Okay, so I try to copy my backup files using finder and get an error saying I don't have permissions to copy data.
    My research indicates my hard drive is failing, which is unfortunate, since I bought it within the last year :-(
    Okay, so now I am trying to get my months worth of backups off the drive and this is proving to be quite difficult...actually, impossible.
    Here are my latest attempts at resolving my issue:
    1.  Ran Repair Disk - reusts:
              error:  Could not repair disk and something about backing up my data and reformating the disk
    2.  Ran fsck_hfs -f command in terminal
         The system indicated it was executing the command and about 2 or 3 minutes, I think the command prompt appeared.  No other message
    3. Run repair disk again - My results:
         Checking catalog file.
         INvalid sibling link
         rebuilding catalog B-Tree
         The volume My Passport could not be repaired
         Volume repair complete
         Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required
         Error:  Disk Utility can't repair this disk...disk, and restore your backed up files
    4.  Created a new partition on another external drive and did a restore in Disk Utility from the broken drive to the new partition on the other drive.  Took a few hours.  Unfortunately, I just created the same problem on that partition (invalid sibling link)
    Any other ideas on how I can rescue my backup data from the My Passport drive? I can see it in finder but I can't copy it do my other drive!
    Research on forums and other sites have mentioned cloning the drive using "dd" command.  Is this the same as the disk utility restore?
    Is there some way I can change the permissions of the disk/partitition/files to enable me to copy the data to the new external drive?
    Here is what the system looks like:  Mac HD is my mac mini; My book is the WD 1TB external drive usb connected;  My Passport is the broken external drive with the time machine backups that I can't get access to.

    ***Update to ask question***
    I would love to setup my new mini like my MBA.  Is there anything wrong with restoring my entire drive, I think it starts at /User/ level, to my mini????
      You know you never know when you will need the backups.  This makes me angry especially since I can see the files but can't repair the disk.
    OTOH, I attempted something I just now read about, option-click on time machine icon. Funny thing, I selected other disk and my passport (original broken drive) popped up with time machine backups on it.
    I, quite timidly, selected the disk, opened the time machine and traversed my broken drive with backups from feb.
    hmmm.  I then, selected some random pdf file to restore and behold, It was restored to my mac mini right before my eyes.
    I'm confused.  But I think I will go with your suggestion and just put the drive away in a closet somewhere and hope to never really need it.  It is quite interesting though that I am unable to repair this disk but I can restore files from it....Odd, I tell you, odd....
    Thanks

  • Time Machine won't backup my external drive

    I have my iTunes library stored on an external drive and I want Time Machine to back it up.
    I have a brand new TM drive. I've been using it without problems to backup my 250Gb iMac. As soon as I add the external drive to the TM backup, it fails. I have other data on this drive that I don't need backed up, so I've only included the sub directory iTunes (by excluding all the others).
    I followed a couple of similar threads, but the situations don't seem to apply. I did install Time Machine buddy so I could see the error messages.
    Starting standard backup
    Backing up to: /Volumes/Time Machine/Backups.backupdb

    Copied 0 files (0 bytes) from volume Music/DVDs.
    Copy stage failed with error:11
    Backup failed with error: 11

    I've run Disk Util on all the drives - no errors.
    Any ideas or other things I should try?
    If I remove the external drive from the backup, it starts to work again.

    The mystery deepens . . .
    I tried to replicate the problem. Renamed an empty partition from Misc2 to Misc2/test and copied some docs into it and ran a backup.
    Sure enough, the message refers to it as Misc2:test and the deep traversal took almost a minute and a half (one folder, 3 sub-folders, total of about 30 items!), but it ran successfully.
    So renamed it again, to Music/DVDs exactly like yours. No deep traversal, and it does call it Music:DVDs in the messages, but it backed-up properly.
    Perhaps it was fixed in Snow Leopard? Or just another of TM's many little quirks? Perhaps the phase of the moon?
    Edit: Some of your posts say you're on 10.5.3, others 10.6.2. Which is correct?

  • Very Wierd Error Code -39 on External FW...

    I keep getting the following Error Code -36, when copy to any external HD FW400/800. This is plugged into a Belkin FW400 Powered HUB. I've gone and replaced this several times at the store thinking it was related to this, and the HUB is erally Powered/Plugged in. I have 4 other FW400 DVD and CD Burners also plugged into this including the iSight Camera.
    "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "1234567_Scar.psd" could not be read nor written." (Error code -36)
    Now if I take this file "1234567_Scar.psd", and StuffIt then the files copies over just fine to any of the External FW400's off te Belkin HUB. So I have been doing all this reformating of External HD's, splitting up RAID-5 configures, Mirrors, Stripes Sets, just trying to nail this down. I even went and sent back 8-250Gig HD's to Maxtore to be replaced by them, and all 8 come back with what look likes the same problem. I tried TechToll Pro 4.1 at $99.00, and althought all comes back Perfect, I see that the S.M.A.R.T. options are not supported in the 8 bay RAID I have - This should mean nothing at all. Then I start to think it's the PSD file format, so start to save in different Formats (Tiff, JPG, GIF, PDF, etc.) I was trying anything, I even went and reformated the OS on the G5 and started from the ground up reloading everything and all the keys again. Still Happens over and over - Can't Burn, or Copy to an External FW400 HD.
    I pretty much ready to give up and buy one of those Drive Brackets that mount 4 more HD in front of the fans inside the G5, but then I worried about the power drain off the G5 power supply, and what this is going to do to the system over a long period of time.
    Now I'm really upset because this is looking like I will never be able to use the External RAID again. Yes, I did have the G5 back to Apple so many times that they think I'm the local nut case that should go buy a Dell. I then begin my very serious dig into this more, and i find this artival on the Apple Chat site from 2000 saying that someone else had this going on too.
    Solution: Unplug the iSight Camera from the BELKIN Powered HUB. BINGO!!! everything works!!! --- Still can't figure out why the iSight camera being off, but plugged into the HUB would casue all of this at all. Either way if anyone is having this nightmare, you may want to avoid this 3 month drag through the dirt and jut unplug the iSight , and move it to a direct port.
    G5 Dual 2.3   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   4-250Gig HD's/8Gig RAM/30" Monitor

    When you got the drive did you reformat it to "Macintosh Extended" aka HFS+ or did you leave it as the default FAT32 format?

  • Error when using 2nd external drive

    When I went to use Time machine on a 2nd external drive the following error came up:
    +You do not have appropriate access privileges to save file “.0016cba062f1” in folder “Backup”.+
    I rebooted and then erased the drive and redid the time machine backup, but now the 1st drive has the same error when trying to reassign as the TM backup. I have successfully done this a few times in the past, but no go today.
    Anyone have any ideas on what to do with this? Thanks.

    this is a bug introduced by 10.5.6 update. see this thread for a workaround.

  • Move iOS Backups to External Drive?

    I am switching from a 750GB internal drive to a 256GB SSD on my MacBookPro. I have a 64GB iPad and a 64GB iPhone, both of which are almost full. To back up both devices uses almost 128GB on my internal drive, which will not work for me. The iCloud storage option is very expensive.
    I would like to figure out a way to back up to an external drive. I read about a way to do this from MobileMe days, but not sure if it will work now. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this with Lion/iCloud/iOS5?
    Thank you.

    I recently installed an external Thunderbolt SSD which is now my boot drive, everything from my internal drive was cloned to it. I want to move my iPhone backups back to the internal HDD so they don't eat up space on my external SSD. I tried the code listed here but it's not working. When I entered the code, Terminal said "The file exists", but it's still writing backups to the external drive. Here's the code I used:
    ln -s /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Backup/ ~/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Where am I going wrong?
