Seagate drive won't backup for reasons unknown.
I have a Seagate Free Agent Go Flex Desk backup, which came preloaded with a Memeo backup program.
Recently I keep getting messages saying, "Failed to back up (various different files)" and "Failed to back up current session." One other message said "No backup plan found." When I watched what was being backed up, I noticed that the backup stalled when it tried to back up 00000002.sol (0 kb).
I have no clue what to do at this point, as I'm apparently going with no further backups. I have an old WD drive, but it's too small and too full already.
Would it be possible to reformat the extermal Seagate drive and do a complete backup from scratch?
I have a program by 2BrightSparks called SyncBackFree that I could put on the reformatted drive.
If that's not an option, and there's no way to get the Seagate going again, then I'm about to decide to just buy a new external drive and start from scratch with whatever backup program it comes with.
If anyone has any recommendations for a new drive and/or backup software, I'd appreciate it.
