    SQL I/O Error Help

    The database server crashed, and there was no backup! I made daily backups
    onto the server but a power failure destroyed the entire RAID. The only
    backup I had was 10 days ago so now the QAS is not the production server.
    (They didn't want to buy a backup tape drive)

    A new problem that I have now is that I can't perform a backup. It seems
    that one of the database file is corupted (although the database is
    functioning).

    The error I am getting is:
    Error: 823, Severity: 24, State: 2
    I/O error 121(The semaphore timeout period has expired.) detected during
    read at offset 0x0000041ff40000 in file 'E:\QASDATA2\QASDATA2.ndf'.
    I tried doing an offline but it failed. When it got to the file, it stopped after a while.

    Run DBCC CHECKDB to see if there is any corruption.
