- Could Not Write Installation Information To Disk Yosemite Update
Hi I'm Cara, a Carbonite expert. I can walk you through this process!
Download Yosemite Restore.pkg; Format your pendrive with MSDOS Fat Format with Disk Utility. Put the Yosemite-Zone.dmg and Yosemite Restore.pkg int the same directory and then open Yosemite Restore.pkg; Choose your Pendrive and install. This process takes 15-20 minutes. Repair Disk and Repair Permissions are intended to fix problems, not create them, so if the computer drive is experiencing issues it could be indicative of the disk itself having an issue. All drives will fail eventually, if the computer and drive are quite old it is worth considering.

During a Backup to Disk, Carbonite Safe Server Backup creates a backup archive that contains the backup data. The backup archive is placed in the Disk Storage location chosen within CSSB.
The disk storage location must be accessible throughout the backup. The backup will fail with Could not write to disk, if the disk becomes inaccessible during the backup for any reason. Failing hardware of some sort is the most common root cause, be it the disk or the connection to the disk.
Resolution
The disks involved in the backup must be healthy and connected for the duration of the backup. This applies to any location, including local disks, external disks, and network locations.
If the backup fails with Could not write to disk, please verify all of the following.

The sections below are collapsed. Please click the section title to open / close a particular section.
When backups are stored on a local network, the archive must be accessible on the local network throughout the backup.
CSSB will automatically recover from most short connection failures within a local network. However, long outages in the local network can cause the backup to fail. Other local network issues, including but not limited to significant packet loss, can also result in failures.
If you are using network storage, please begin by verifying that the local network connection is stable and working properly. Poor network health is the leading cause of the Could not write to disk error when the backups are stored in a local network location. If the network is stable, disk health should be confirmed as described below.
Please note that this section applies to the local network only. Uploads that cannot connect to the cloud storage have other error messages and will not fail with Could not write to disk. For more information on how CSSB handles connection issues with the cloud storage, please refer to this Knowledge Base article.
Connectivity issues and poor disk health are potential problems for backups stored in any location. Many of these are detailed below.
Begin by verifying each item on this list to ensure that your disks are connected and working properly.

- The disk (or the device containing the disk) must not go to sleep during the backup.
- The disk (or the device containing the disk) must not be shut down or rebooted during the backup.
- The disk must be healthy. Corrupted disks, damaged file systems, and disks with bad sectors can cause backup failures.
- Many disk health issues for local disks are logged in the Windows Event Logs. Examine both the System and Application events for disk-related errors.
- Use diagnostics such as the chkdsk command to verify disk health.
- If a RAID array is in use, also verify the health of the array.
- Verify the disks are connected throughout the backup process.
- External disks should not be unplugged during a backup.
- For internal and external local disks, loose and/or damaged cables can result in backup failures.
- For network locations, poor network health and connectivity can result in upload failures, as discussed above.
- The disks must be compatible with the operating system of the device that contains the disk.
- For example, 4k drives are not compatible with all Windows systems.
- These drives should only be used with Windows 8, Server 2012, and higher.
- Many high-capacity external disks are 4k drives.
- External storage devices, such as NAS devices, may have their own hardware compatibility lists. Please refer to the manufacturer's documentation.
- For example, 4k drives are not compatible with all Windows systems.
