[QUOTE="Todd Smith 265, post: 1769321, member: 181648"] ==== Thanks for coming back to me... so: It's a 2012 Macbook Air I've tried: Booting into recovery and running disk utility to repair the mac Running disk utility repair from a seperate installer disk. Running safe mode and from there attempting to backup - still failed Upgrading the Mac from Lion to Sierra - still unable to complete a backup and getting these I/O errors And as mentioned have tried various backup tools (Super Duper, Carbon Copy Cloner, Time Machine). All failed to complete a full backup. I've now just managed to backup the most important file folders by manually copying each one. I am now contemplating doing a clean install of Sierra by totally wiping the hard drive. Thanks T [/QUOTE]
