E00040007: Error opening the file

Please insert the last media of the archive and click Retry to continue. Otherwise click Cancel to stop the operation.

After using about 7 DVD-R's, I got this error message.

I was backing up my entire computer to DVD.

What's causing this problem? Googling wasn't helpful.

Product: ATI v10

It's clear from the logs, the product attempted to lock the C drive.

While backing up, I continued to surf.

Burning direct to DVD/CD seems to be a little troublesome especially the validation process which is what your seeing. Validation is on by default. A better approach is to use TI to break the backup into DVD/CD sized chunks and then use Nero or your favorite burning sw to put it on DVD/CD. I prefer to backup directly to an external hard drive.

That's what I've done, but thanks for the suggestion.

I was wondering if those tib files are bootable,
so I took the first one, burned it to DVD and sure enough it booted.

However, I didn't follow through on the recovery as I'd only burned one disk.

I also noted that the descriptive text that displays when Acronis recovery options are chosen, isn't visible to the user as it runs off the text area, that should be fixed.

Anways, back to my problems...
If I burn those (seven) tibs to DVD, just are regular data files (no fancy Nero bootable this, that, and the other) the recovery should work fine?

I'll dl vmware, and test the recovery operation, before I put faith into this product.

Thanks

Let me suggest you test the recovery by actually performing a restore. This way you will know for sure that it actually works.

 

But if I try and perform a recovery and it fails, won't that mess up my computer? or does it fail early? before it states to obliterate my drive with the restored data?

I thought that if I used vmware, that would be the safer method of testing a restore.

 

bump!

 

dump!
