Hi, I´m having trouble copying files for backup purposes to an USB disk with rsync. Copying the files sometimes fails with "Input/output error (5)", and I´m getting messages in the syslog like these:

But with USB, I´m not so sure: can this be some sort of problem with USB, like a connection problem? Sometimes copying the files works just fine, sometimes not. If the disk was actually broken, I´d rather expect the copying to fail every time.
