larrycleve Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 I just made the first backup with retrospect 7 using winxp backing up to a firewire hard drive. I used compression and verification. These error messages were in the log- File "C:\WINDOWS\repair\Backup\BootableSystemState\Registry\system": didn't compare at offset 2,089,038 in stream "Data" File "C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\msoeres.dll": didn't compare at offset 1,050,098 in stream "Data" File "C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386\termmgr.dll": didn't compare at offset 144,771 in stream "Data" File "E:\Tiger Woods\Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2005\Data\Images\Intro\CreatePlayer\thumbnails.tbf": didn't compare at offset 1,118,195 in stream "Data" File "G:\SAVE\backup\Program Files\MSN Gaming Zone\Windows\bckgres.dll": didn't compare at offset 1,126,006 in stream "Data" File "G:\SAVE\fonts new\PMINGLIU.TTF": didn't compare at offset 7,298,062 in stream "Data" File "G:\SimCity 3000\Game\Res\UI\Shared\MAIN.IXF": didn't compare at offset 6,807,054 in stream "Data" Are these important and if so what should be done?

natew Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hi Run the backup again. A normal (incremental) backup is fine. Do the errors come up again? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrycleve Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I did another backup and there were no errors. I assume this means the original errors were insignificant but why would they have occurred? Also the total size of the data backed up was 66 gigs to a firewire hard drive with compression and verification. The backup took 6 hours and the backup file was compressed to 60 gigs. Do these numbers sound right or was the backup slow? The performance was about 350 mg/min. Everything was turned off including antivirus software. If there is any way to speed this up I'd sure like to know how. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Hi This is all normal. The files that caused errors changed a bit during the first backup. The second backup went much faster so they didn't have a chance to change and cause errors. Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
