Posted by: wickedsteve http://forums.macresource.com/read.php?1,1141612,1141673 Date: April 28, 2011 09:23AM I tried to backup my hard drive by making a disc image on an external USB drive. This usually works. But this time I got an "input output error". So I thought maybe the external drive was messed up. I formatted it, erasing my old backup (big mistake) and tried again. I still got an error. So then I tried a different USB drive but still got an error instead of input output a backup. Then I tried using time machine thinking maybe disk utility was the problem. Time machine could not back up my drive either. It failed and said to try again later. Is my hard drive screwed? I ran the hardware test, first aid and disk warrior. According to my utilities everything is fine but I can not figure how how to back up my hard drive. Two different backup methods did not work and input output error neither did two different drives. Thanks in advance for any help. Options: Reply• Quote Re: I can not backup my hard drive. Posted by: C(-)ris Date: April 28, 2011 09:48AM If you are getting an IO error that is generally bad. It means that the system can't read a portion of the disk. I would backup up all your work immediately. Check the system.log and see if there is anything that says IO error and a disk name or slice number. Generally if you are getting IO errors on a drive it is dying and needs to be replaced.
