Corrupt Files

When I had a problem with my system I tried to restore the files using the backup.

A large number of the files were corrupt. You cannot delete a corrupt file and my only choice was to format both hard drives and reinstall all the programs.

My opinion of this product is to save your money and find a backup utility that works. You have 30 days in which to request a refund and of course that period had expired when I needed to restore the programs.

It is too late for help now. I read all I could about corrupt files on this site and found no help. I did notice that there were a large number of other people who had the same problem that I did. There were no answers.

I had to reformat both drives in order to get rid of the corrupt files and in the process lost a lot of information. I have since gone on to another program for saving files.

 

Sorry for your loss.

I use more than 1 backup solution, but no matter which you use, I have always suggested to test the proceedure completely, even if it means buying extra hard drives to do so.
It took me to loose some data the first time too.

 

I have had this issue with corrupt images until today after reading some of the posts here. I worked with TI 7 to do my first backup and restore without problems months ago. I then purchased TI 9 and tried using it about a month ago to replace a 20gig laptop drive with a 30 gig. For the past month I have fought with 'messages' about corrupt image files, even if the image verifies ok after a backup. If I later tried to verify the image TI said it was corrupt.
Anyway, I remembered that when I was using TI 7 I had a memory simm from my son's computer in my computer and the SDRAM speed was at 266. Since then I put my son's ram back and put my memory back in. I set the SDRAM speed to 'Auto' which was 400 speed. Every time I tried using TI 9 the backups appeared to work correctly but every time I checked the archive it was corrupt.
I decided to change my SDRAM speed back to 266 today and recheck an image that had been reported as corrupt before. It worked!
I then was able to use the archive and restore it to my 30gig drive. Could it be that TI has problems with memory speeds of 400?
So, I would try to lower your memory speed to see if that helps.
Just a though.

It would be enlightening to use free Memtest86+,www.memtest.org (not obsolete Memtest86 (no plus)), to check your memory at the 400 speed and see if it gives any errors. If so, then repeat at the slower speed.

There have been various posts indicating that TI really does give the hardware a very good workout and errors appear seemingly out of nowhere.
