read error

Retrieval went wrong

A read error is a failure to retrieve data from a storage medium—a hard drive, disc, memory card, or similar device.

The error occurs when the system cannot interpret the stored information, whether due to physical damage, corruption, or hardware malfunction.

The backup failed due to a read error on the source drive.
