'Delayed Write Failed' - after SP2 - Q213733

[BP Ritchie]

Error Message:

"Delayed Write Failed" ... occurs during scheduled backup (often when output
file > 4GB)

After installation of Service Pack 2 on Windows XP Pro some of my customers
have started to experience this error message while doing their scheduled
(once per night) backups to their local file server which is dedicated for
backups. The Backup fails as a result. The failure symptoms are identical
to the symptoms described by Q321733 (including the details of the event log
record), which seems to have been fixed for Windows 2000 (about year ago)
but I cannot find a fix for Windows XP.

Does anyone know where to find the XP version of the 'hot fix' for this
problem?

Intel Application Accelerator can lead to this error with some HDs.

Q

[BP Ritchie]

Do you mean Intel Application Accelerator on the server or client? ... not
installed on the server, I believe it is installed on the client systems ...
but I don't understand how this might affect network data integrity.

This problem only occurs when executing a backup (so far with output files >
4 GB) to a mapped network drive. The scheduled backups have been running
once per day for about 14 months now ... failures only started being
reported after the installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2 on the Client
systems ... the server was not updated.

Problem ... probably solved ... I do not believe I need the Hot Fix for
Q213733 anymore.

The target drive for the backup file is formatted as FAT32 (Max file size =
4GB) ... it is probably just co-incidence that the backup file size grew to
just over 4GB right after Service Pack 2 was installed.
