Can someone help with this problem?

Well this is what I did. I have SNAPSHOT1 which got ARCHIVED to another drive and then imported back as SNAPSHOT2. This is what is happening. The SNAPSHOT1 has no errors with registry cleaners yet SNAPSHOT2 which is the same identical as SNAPSHOT1 after importing shows some of the errors in the attached file. I'm not even showing 1/4 of the whole errors. Is the registry or other files not being copped correctly?

So you did :
1. Copy/update from SNAPSHOT1 to ARCHIVE1
2. Copy/update from ARCHIVE1 to SNAPSHOT2.
There is nothing wrong with this, unless you had errors during the first or second copy/update.
Another reason can be : one of your security softwares screwed the copy/update.

The only way to solve this is to redo both copy/updates and I would delete ARCHIVE1 and SNAPSHOT2 first.
Disabling your security might help.

 

Thanks guys, but here is the situation.

The copies are always error free "ZERO COUNT". I even did the backup and restore from my 3rd Snapshot which is only for testing and it has no security on it. I still got the same exact errors. I can tell right away because when I open up any MS Office, it runs the installer like if it was missing some files.

I am using CCleaner but its only for testing, I did it once to see what it would do, but I don't normally use registry cleaners. Comparing my normal SNAPSHOT1 "no ccleaner errors" to my backup SNAPSHOT2 "lots of ccleaner errors" <--- Verified with the MS Office situation.

No, any snapshot coming from the SNAPSHOT1 (NO REG ERRORS) comes out bad. Trying to figure this out, if the registry in the good SNAPSHOT1 has read errors etc., will FD-ISR still copy it though?

Here is more info:

If I copy the snapshot with KIS 2007 and then boot to the new one that will have errors, I see KIS 2007 go crazy saying that svchost and firefox executables has changed plus others. Also Firefox on first lunch says "Firefox is not your default browser..." but yet it was in the good snapshot. Its like FD-ISR is not copying files correctly.

Pete nothing is enabled, I disabled KIS completely. I even stated earlier I did the copy update from within a virgin snapshot with nothing on it and still the same errors. You know what, I've noticed this kind of behavior in the past, yet I never though it was FD-ISR and would ignore it, but now that I see all the errors, DAMN! Thats why I gave up reg cleaners, they just scare me of what they find, so I just let the registry do its own thing.

Now I want to find out if the problem is reading\writing the files while backing up the Snapshot or while restoring\copying it.

I think there is no hope for this, so basically my only alternative is to start a new fresh installation of Operating System and everything that follows. Seems the main FD-ISR snapshot is corrupt at copy\update or whatever. I was basically getting all my snapshot from that corrupt one, so that is no use to me.

I can't my primary is the one that is busted. Every time it comes out bad like I showed. So for now, I did what I had to do in this good primary snapshot and later will reformat and install everything. I am guess my True image snapshots are worthless too. So I am just going to start clean again, no big deal. Thanks Pete.

Well after cleaning out my system and installing a fresh Windows XP then installing FD-ISR, I still can't copy snapshots correctly. Seems FD-ISR doesn't like me anymore . I don't understand, Acronis True Image copies the same working snapshot and restores it without problems. I had no active security software and still the problem was there with First Defense. Its like those files or the registry is locked and FD-ISR can't copy it correctly. This is going down as an unsolved mystery.

Will try without True Image. If that doesn't work, time to contact Raxco.

Hey Pete, you mentioned if I've tried RSS. Well I tried this:

Switch from VSS to RSS
1. From a command prompt, cd \$ISR\$APP\Setup | ISRSetup -install –rss
2. Reboot your computer

but notthing changed, when I try to copy I still see it say starting VSS. Am I missing something here.

dja2k

 

Maybe the missing "C:" was important in your case or you did a typo :

1. CMD + Enter
2. CD C:\$ISR\$APP\Setup + Enter
3. ISRSetup –install –rss (or –vss) + Enter
4. re-boot

 

Guys I don't know about you but when I type cd \$ISR\$APP\Setup I get to the C: root. Check out the screen shot. Any how that doesn't work.

I mean Pete, if I did that right and it changed it to RSS, I shouldn't see the copy saying "starting VSS" right but rather I should see something about RSS? or am I wrong?

dja2k

 

Well I still rebooted right after I did that setup, but it still shows starting VSS.
