I'm trying to back up my harddisk but it did not copy or transfer to a harddisk and the error says like this

Cannot copy <filename>: The drive cannot find the sector requested

Is there other way to back up files???

Try running a chkdsk on the drive?

There should be some bad sectors on your drive. Check it using its official DISk Manager.
