| | Posted: | | | | Hello all
I can't seem to do a backup anymore.
I'm running under Windows 7 64bit.
At the end of the backup I get the following error message: "Stream read error"
I've done a db repair. I've tried doing a backup under a different name (rather than an overwrite). Nothing works.
I've noticed since going over to Windows 7 that Profiler is very glitchy. I often get errors when adding/changing studios. Text overlaps with neighbouring text.
Anyone got any suggestions for the backup issue? |

| | Posted: | | | | 1) Are you sure the location where you backup to is not full?
2) What kind of file system is on the backup location? AFAIK the FAT-32 (used on all kinds of USB devices) does not support files bigger than 4 GB. (2 to the power of 32 bytes) Has your previous backup file reached that kind of size?
3) You also can backup by simply copying the database files to a backup location. It's actually a lot faster than to create a backup file with DVDP functions.
4) Have you tried to exclude certain things in the backup, like cover scans or cast/crew database to find out if any of that causes the trouble?
5) Have you any "weird" files in your Images or Thumbnails folder. Files that don't belong there? | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | 1. Destination definitely not full (apprx 160gig free).
2. Backup is 2.60 gig.
3. Always prefer to use the built in (but will try this if all else fails).
4. I left off the covers and the backup went through. I've also had a look through my images folder and can't see anything unusual. |

| | Posted: | | | | Ok...I tried to copy my images folder to my backup location; and it came up with an error on one of the images.
It turned out Without a Trace Season 6, back cover was corrupted somehow.
Now fixed, and my backup went forward without a hitch.
Thank you so much DJ for all your help! |

Was achieved by a copy and paste method or by way of the backup function? Not meant to be a dumb question, but I have almost given up trying to sort this issue out that started a year ago.

How did an individual image file appear to be corrupted? i.e. how was it identified?
Now fixed, and my backup went forward without a hitch.
I am glad to hear of your success... I am still cursing and swearing 
Thank you so much DJ for all your help! I have tried DJ's approach, but came up with the "stream read error" when I did a backup of the profile/images and all other excluded.... I can't progress from this point. | | | Veni, Vidi, Visa, Vista, Voodoo, Vino
