I was using Fastback+ V2.09 to back up my hard disk when it got an
error on the hard disk. It retried the read a number of times (all the
while saying it was adding data to the backup) and then hung my machine
(CTRL-ALT-DEL time). I did not receive any warning messages, no
opportunity to try and bypass the bad file, nothing. 45 minutes down
the tubes. Does anyone know of a way to configure FB to either warn you
or to bypass errors? I find it really stange that a backup/restore
program can't handle disk errors. Any & all help would be appreciated.
