I've notice this for a week or so, my backups have been corrupt. This has been the case with Acronis True Image 2010, Macrium & Todo (both free & Pro). But it's only on one of my backup drives, the Samsung that I bought last year. My other backup drive (Seagate FreeAgent) is fine.
I had it installed inside of what was once one of those Simple Drive enclosures, I bought the enclosure alone, the actual HDD was removed & sold separately. There has been no problems with performing the backups, they all went through with no issues. Only when I try to recover (or verify them) them, there's problems.
I've performed CHKDSK & CHKDSK /R on it, ran full scans with NOD32, SAS, MBAM, F-Secure Online Scanner & MS Safety Scanner, no viruses of other malware has been found. The only notable issue that I've found is that the HDD gets hotter than what I consider to be normal, in other words, too hot to hold.
The enclosure that it was in is fully a plastic one, I have a Vantec aluminum one. Would that one keep the drive cooler over the one it was in? I figured it being in a much larger enclosure, with plenty of ventilation, it would be OK. Or could it be the chipset of the Simple Drive enclosure itself be the problem. Being that the backups are completing, it's leaving me with more questions than answers.
Tonight, I'll wipe the HDD with the tool in Mini Tool Partition Wizard, and place it in the Vantec case, and see what happens.
Anyone else been through this?
