Validate Archive problem

I’m pleased it works for you, it may be quicker to check with MD5 Sums on the .tib file on the internal and external drives than a TI validation on the external, you could then keep the sums in a WordPad file for future reference.

 

FWIW, I am now getting 100% bad (corrupt image) backups, even when backing up to an internal IDE drive. I wrote about this in my long thread posted a few months ago, but now I cannot get a single backup to work.

I tried memtest; I did scandisk with error correction; I did a defrag (of the target drive). Everything tests fine. I renabled all sorts of Windows services that I had disabled. I have unplugged all USB and Firewire cables (even though I am now trying to do backups to the internal drives).

The good news is that I think I have now created the perfect test system for this problem, because it now fails 100% of the time.
