TI 10: Archive is invalid or its type is unsupported

Hi,

I have some tib backup files on an external Maxtor hard drive. I can access the files OK when the drive is connected directly to a PC - either from Acronis or from Vista Explorer.

When I connect the drive to my Belkin N+ Modem router however, I cannot open the files. The router runs Linux and samba. I can copy files to and from the drive via the router OK. Also if I do a NEW backup using Acronis, to the drive and via the router, then I CAN open that one.

In the event log there are 2 messages:
Message 1:

The description for Event ID 2 from source Acronis Test Program cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

Cannot open archive for reading. (0x400002)
path = "Z:\CompaqBackup.tib"
Tag = 0x7967E78EC51EA9E7
This is not the last volume of the backup archive. (0x40012)
Tag = 0x6517E0ECF4E1009F

I get a similar message to this on screen.

Is this a known problem?

Interestingly, I get a different symptom on a different Vista machine - it asks for a password.

Hi

the version is TI Version 10.0 Build 4942.

How can I create a log file when I am just trying to view an archive? I will try to include it in a recovery operation.

Pete

 

Pete,

What is the size of the CompaqBackup.tib file on the Maxtor drive?

Is the CompaqBackup.tib image backup a single file (one large file containing the entire backup)?

When you create a new backup directly to the Maxtor (when connected to the router) using TI and it works correctly, is the backup image one file or does TI split it into multiple files?

Also, when you create the new backup which works properly, is it from Windows or from the TI CD?

 

Hello all,

Thank you for using Acronis True Image

Pete, could you please answer MudCrabs' questions? Also, it is not clear when exactly you receive the below error.

Please attach the log file created during this operation or create a screen shot of this error message and attach to your post.

If you are not familiar with making screen shots, please read the below step-by-step instructions.

- Get to the window which you want to make a screen shot of;
- Hit the (Alt+)PrintScreen button on your keyboard;
- Run Paint usually available in Start\Programs\Accessories or another graphics application;

- Save the result picture in JPEG format being preferable.

Thank you.
