What Do I Do About -206 Errors?

I'm just a home PC user. Back in January my hard drive crashed. I had been pretty good about backing up the data files, so I didn't lose much, but it was a pain having to reinstall all of the applications and re-do the Preferences and tweaking (that I remembered). So, I bought Retrospect to back up everything.

 

I partitioned my HD to have a dedicated area for the Retrospect backups. I did my first full backup to the HD -- no problems, no errors. Because a backup on a HD that crashes won't do me any good, I did a full backup to CDs.

 

The first time, I had a few -206 errors on two discs. I thought I had "Verification" on, but I never got a warning saying the discs had errors and couldn't be used while I was doing the backup. So, I did a second backup and ensured that "Verification" was on. This time I had seven -206 errors on one disc.

 

What do I do now? How do I replace unusable disc(s), so that I have a full, usable backup on CDs?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have searched this forum, the Dantz web site, and googled this problem, and I can't find anything related to my problem.

 

I was hoping someone here may have experienced the same problem and found a way to solve it -- other than doing full backups to CDs until you finally have one that is free of errors.

Hi.

 

In looking thru Dantz's knowledge base, turns out all 2xx errors are hardware related. Here's the link: http://kb.dantz.com/display/2/index.asp?c=&cpc=&cid=&cat=&catURL=&r=0.9610712

 

There isn't a way to recreate a specific CD in a backup set. You've got to recreate the whole backup set => you need to solve whatever hardware problem first.

 

HTH.
