    I am unable to complete a backup of my windows 7 computer using native backup to a USB portable hard drive.  The details of the error message are: the request could not be performed because of an I/O drive error. Backup location: Iomega_HDD (F:) error code: Ox8078002A

    it appears as if Microsoft backup is not compatible with many external drives.   In a Microsoft support document  Microsoft states it is up to the software developer to update its  application to make it compatible with the hardware.   Wouldn't this be Microsoft?  This is after all backup which is crucial tool for data integrity.

      Does Microsoft have an alternate backup program or at least a fix?
