| Jun 18, 2013 at 14:06 | comment | added | 5pike | @fbueckert - true, but during my time on the internet, this "assumption" was wrong in more than enough cases, to warrant a friendly reminder. | |
| Jun 18, 2013 at 14:02 | comment | added | Ryan | I'll give that a shot. Since the backup failed I just assumed that there was no backup data, but I didn't actually go into the drive to view what files are there. Thanks. | |
| Jun 18, 2013 at 14:00 | comment | added | Frank | A super fast search indicates this might be a hard drive corruption issue; if you can view what made it into the backup (if it didn't roll it back when it encountered the error), you might be able to eliminate the data where the corruption isn't. | |
| Jun 18, 2013 at 13:57 | comment | added | Ryan | @fbueckert Yes. The external drive is 2tb. The replacement drive is 640gb. | |
| Jun 18, 2013 at 13:57 | comment | added | Frank | @5pike Please don't tell people to Google something; there should be an assumption that they've at least tried to resolve it on their own. | |
| Jun 18, 2013 at 13:56 | comment | added | Ryan | @5pike I tried that first and couldn't find anything helpful. | |
| Jun 18, 2013 at 13:56 | comment | added | Frank | Silly question: how big is the external hard drive? Is it big enough to fit everything? | |
| Jun 18, 2013 at 13:55 | comment | added | 5pike | While you wait for an answer, please Google "The backup operation could not be completed 80010038" - you might find a solution | |
