write error

Disk storage failure

A write error is a computer failure that occurs when data cannot be saved to a storage device—a hard drive, USB stick, or disc.

The system attempts to record information but something prevents completion: a corrupted sector, full disk, hardware malfunction, or interrupted connection.

The backup failed due to a write error.
