backup job not finished
|
|
|
| I was backing up 111Gb to DVDs with Nero's "BackItUp" software ... and
received a "backup failed" error message after I inserted the 24th DVD (of
~26). The good news is that the job was employing no compression, and all
files were apparently written iaw the file structure (... except I believe I
saw several files which had been split).
The bad news is that no definition file was written, so Nero BIU is not
aware of how the job was defined or of what was archived and what was not
.... nor did it take care of the file propertys' archive bits.
I have written Nero support hoping they could provide me with a 'recovery
utility', but I thought I ask for a general remedy. I thought I'd go thru
the archived files, and correctly change the achive bit ... and then create
another job hopefully with respect to the achive bits (i.e., not BIU's full
bu). The confusing thing is the archive bits are currently all checked
'on', and the implication is "this file is ready to be archived". I should
'uncheck' all files which were properly archived ... correct?
.... any other thoughts and advice would be appreciated :o)

I was checking which archive bits were cleared versus not ... and I noticed
whle the archive bits for the files hadn't been cleared, the archive bits
for the directories had. What does it mean when the file achive bits are
unchanged, but the directory arcive bits are cleared???
