Backup is giving me input/output error
I've been successfully running a daily cron script to backup certain things on my server but just recently I started getting input/output errors for everything. For each directory the script tries to backup I now get this:

cp: accessing `/mnt/backup/**dir**/': Input/output error

/mnt/backup dir is on another disk or the same disk ?.
if its on the other disk the other disk may be damaged .
