    Ah I see you are in the wonderful world of Vista. First you could look at the log Tools>options>view log, and see if anything stands out there. Then I would just redo the copy and see what the errors look like. IF none I'd reboot and see if the snapshot boots okay.

    If this persists I'd definiitely report it to Raxco.

    Hopefully Mata7 yoiu don't mind if I sneak onto your thread with a similar problem as it seems a waste to start a new thread.

    I have noticed the same problem in my secondary copy completed with 13 errors, the program itself doesn't seem too bothered by this as there is no specific warning, the box which mata7 posted as a screenshot is set to close on completion of a copy/update by default and after this the only evidence of errors or not is contained in the logs.

    Anyway, I tracked the culprit to be AntiVir Guard (I think), as on closing that, copy/update went error free. So, I have a primary snap, a secondary snap (with 13 errors), a third snap that is error free., if I update the second from the third will this clear any errors? Probably not as even as I say it, it sounds a bit stupid, so alternatively, do I simply "Remove Snapshot" if so does my third snapshot rename itself, or if I make a new one after removing the secondary is that automatically named a secondary, or if I want one named secondary do I have to rename one. I hope this makes sense, it looks a little like innane rambling.

    Hi stapp, simply elimination, I run a fairly minimal (compared to many) security setup, as far as realtime security is concerned. It seems FDISR is sensitive to security applications and at the time I had already disabled (termporarily) all but AntiVir Guard, so from an elimination process when I saw the errors it was the most obvious thing to suspend, I did so and copied another snapshot and it was error free.

    I will do another snapshot to see if the error free one was a fluke, (you have me worried now :eek: ) and report back.

    Any security software that protects itself may prevent FDISR from copying files. I'd disable them when doing copies as well as defragging.

    When I had Process Guard on my system even disabled it generated errors copying to archives. It was bye bye Process Guard.

    Ok messed up, but produced a better test by accident. Forgot to disable the AntiVir Guard and started a copy.
    Copied 6.09Gb Errors 16 30 minutes.
    Disabled the Guard and Copied 6.09Gb 27 minutes no errors

    Creating new snapshots/archives takes longer and it also depends on how fast your computer is.
    Once the snapshots/archives do exist, the update of snapshots/archives will be much faster.
    You can easily test this by installing any software in your primary snapshot and then do a copy/update FROM secondary snapshot TO primary snapshot and this will be alot faster. The software you installed will be gone in the primary snapshot. So you don't have to uninstall the software anymore and there are NO leftovers, because FDISR removes any trace. Add/Remove programs usually doesn't uninstall a software completely. Almost every software has a bad uninstaller and after awhile your computer is full of crap, especially your registry, but FDISR removes EVERYTHING.

    Another thing to consider is anchoring the folder "My Documents", where all your personal data is stored.
    Anchored objects (folder or files) are NOT included in the snapshot and that reduces the space of your
    snapshots. Smaller snapshots means faster copy/updates.

    If you don't anchor, your personal data is included in each snapshot and that requires of course more space
    and this volume will grow constantly, if you create new personal files regularly. If you have alot of graphical files, like movies, photos, etc. your volume will increase enormously and then your copy/update will take MUCH LONGER.
    Users often create another partition to store graphical files, I didn't understand this in the beginning, but since I'm editing movies myself, I understand why.

    I don't have to anchor, because I moved all my data to another partition.

    Is that a clean Vista install or an upgrade, upgrades often have hidden probs, otherwise maybe FD hasn't fully got to grips with Vista yet.

    Yeah I thought that might be the case, I thinks as Peter said in his first reply it may be worth asking Raxco and see what they can suggest.

    You may have several back and forth exchanges, but they will stay with it until the problem is solved

    I can vouch for that Peter, I am currently being sent different copy engine files to test just like Mata7 is. Only difference is I don't have Vista.

    It has made me SO aware of how much I depend on FD now that I am not doing any copy/updates (Raxco's instructions) until my problem is solved.

    The level of support is extraordinary, what a great company.

    I reported a problem to Raxco, that wasn't even my problem, that's how I got the latest build 202 of FDISR. :D

    Boy, on both counts that is so true. If something doesn't play with FDISR, it is toast, Erik style.:D

    If it does turn out to be a software I use, or am trying out, that is the problem, it will cease to be a problem because it will be gone from my system as quick as lightning :D
