Well
1- it is stored on another machine ( through MS sharing )
2- Well on the machine i have agent version 9.7.8398 and i use Management version 9.1.3864 to recover the Tib files
3- Some files are 20-30 GB , yes it have a .tib ext. , it has only the - at the end ex: i type like this \\mybackupserver\web\set0\mybackup-.tib
4- according to this script programmer ( ChainGen) it is better not to make a validate ..

Yes, you should definitely validate the file to see whether validation passes or fails. I use only the home version of 'TI so am not familiar with your software. If the backup was created by the home version of TI, I would restore when booted from the TI Rescue CD.
Chain2Gen was written by OracleDBA. He does advocate that backup files be validated--certainly the initial few backups. Many of us do not validate every backup but we do validate the beginning ones plus some of the later ones just to make sure that the files are not corrupt. Once you have established that the files can be validated, then it is not necessary to validate every backup--unless you wish to do so.
If you are using the Recovery option and choosing from the listing of Database backupd, then try browsing to the specific backup (using the browse function) and see if you get the same reaction.

Hi again
Actually i find that the problem was from the version for Acronis Agent and mang . i test that same corrupted file with another mang console version and it didnot give any errors. Thanks again for your help.
