Windows -- Delayed Write Failed error

Hi

I get a yellow triangular icon with a black exclamation point with the
message -- Windows -- Delayed Write Failed. Windows was unable to save all
the data for the file \Device\HarddiskVolume2. The data has been lost. This
error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network
connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.

This happens each time I backed up successfully with Acronis True Image Home
11 and immediately turning off my IOMEGA 250 GB external hard drive.
Also this happens when I am not backing up if I copy data to or from the
external hard drive and this error message appears.

If I leave my IOMEGA external hard drive on and logout of Windows
administrator account and then immediately turning the external hard drive
then the same error message appears but with a white X with a red circular
icon.

Does anyone know what is wrong? How do I fix this error message?
Is there something wrong with my external hard drive?

I ran chkdsk on Drive C and IOMEGA external hard drive but found no errors.

Much help is appreciated.

Thanks
 
Do not turn off your drive, shut down your pc first, then shut down your hd,
and power up, I'm assuming your doing a clone of your primary hd?
 
What do you mean by doing a clone of my primary hard drive?
Well the backup software just backs up the my entire hard drive into 2 GB
compressed files onto my IOMEGA external hard drive. Is this what I described
cloning my primary hard drive?

Much Help Is Appreciated.

Thanks
