06/13/12 08:29:58            The test was unable to write or read the test
06/13/12 08:29:58            file. Backup and restore operations can be
06/13/12 08:29:58            IO intensive, and it appears that Backup Exec may
06/13/12 08:29:58            experience random IO failures when using this
06/13/12 08:29:58            appliance.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
If the B2D test shows above error then run "chkdsk" on the disk through command prompt without any parameter and check for errors :
e.g. :
Errors in the uppercase table are corrected.
Errors in Volume Bitmap.
Windows has detected problems in the file system.
Run CHKDSK with the / F (fix) the problems. Fix

Solution

The disk errors should be fixed and B2D test should pass without indicating there are any issues.

CHKDSK should also be run and not show any errors on the disk on which disk the storage is created.
