From a command prompt, run "chkdsk s: /f" to see whether there is any error on your S: drive.  Make sure that you use the /f switch so that any errors will be fixed.

You might want to change the USB cable and port as they may be faulty.

Kiuem, 

        Please take a look at the following doc under Solution 2 and see if it is applicable

Hello,

Make sure your job properties in your templates are selecting Media Set1

and go to Tools > Options > Device and Media> and choose Overwrite recyclable media contained in the targeted media set before overwriting scratch media

Hope this helps

Dear Lmossla !

I  choosed :  Overwrite recyclable media contained in the targeted media set before overwriting scratch media

Few observations from the above screenshots.

1) Media Set 1 has Overwrite Protection Period set as "Do not allow overwrite" and Append Period 

 as "Infinite allow append". This is not a good practice, at some point your destination device will have

no space for new backups if you do not overwrite older backup sets. Whenever backups are targeted

to a disk its recommended to Overwrite the jobs and not to append. So in the Media set 

properties set appropriate OPP ( For eg: If you want to retain data for 7 days than set the OPP as 

7 days so that 8th day onwards older backup sets will be eligle for being overwritten. This will help

you to utilitze disk space in a better way.

2) Check the B2D max file size, from the screenshot its seems you have set a large amount of

B2D file size( there are .bkf files with size between 150-250GB)  which is not recommended.

Set the B2D file size around 20-40GB ,with large size file you may loose all your data if that single

large file goes corrupt. 

If the issue persists try creating a new B2D folder.

 It looks like there are two media sets: Media Set 1 OPP - Do not allow overwrite , Append Period "Infinite allow append"    and Medis Set1 OPP - 1 Day , Append Period "Infinite allow append"   

kiuem, what version of Backup Exec are you using?
