Keriver Image 5.0

When you boot from the Keriver image boot disk an make an image is there a way to verify that image? I booted from it and made a successful image but didn't see a way to verify it.

 

No, there is no specific option to verify your image that I can remember. And I don't know if there is some automated internal way included in the software, probably only River could tell us more about this.

I can only tell you that I backed up and restored maybe 12 or 15 times with no one single glitch, FWIW. Very reliable for me (and fast), on win 7 ultimate x64.

 

I've asked River about this in a support ticket and if you'd check your computer and see if you have this in event viewer under custom view Administrative. I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and I get this when I run a backup from with in Windows.

I didn't encounter this error message before because I always made all my backups from the boot CD. Now I just made one from within windows and, yes, I can see this same 8194 message in my Event Viewer. Actually there are two of them, one at beginning the backup and one other at the end of it:

Yes if I make one from within windows I get that on both my 32 bit and 64 bit Windows 7 computers. If you do it from the boot cd it's OK. I had been doing it from within Windows cause I'd like to verify the image. I also have Macrium Reflect the paid version on this computer and when I back up from within Windows using it,I get no such error message. River said it's probably cause I don't have Administrator rights but I'm the only one on this computer and I am the Administrator. How did this thread get so stretched out?

 

I am also in admin account on my system... And now I can see why you would like to be able to verify those worrying backups.

Btw, I made a restore of this backup image causing those VSS error messages and all is fine, as far as I can know.

Heu, stretchy can also be sexy, at times!

 

JR Viejo Thank You for doing that.

 

Hi Squid13,
This error is not critical and doesn't lead to fail to create snapshot of drive using VSS. I found some information from this link: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7repair/thread/34b62c1b-93e6-4848-a9a0-59e3f4019ebb

I will do some research to find why it happen.

Thanks.
