Hi Tim,
I read your blog on R2008 backup I/0 error, apparently I lucked out originally and bought 3 go-flex and never had an issue, 1 has died so I bought 3 new hd’s to replace the bunch and discovered the I/O error.
Twice (as I have now bought 2 sets of 3) and got the same results, is there no work around or patch
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated
Thanks
Tom
@Tom upgrading to Server 2012 is really the best option.
