I will give this a try here. I have seen this problem happen to many others, but I am still trying to get to the bottom of what's going on with this. I am running Windows 7 x64 - backup itself runs okay, but validation fails as "corrupt". I have done the following:

a) Ran CHKDSK /F and /R on the E: drive. No errors.

b) Ran MEMORY DIAGNOSTICS. No errors.

c) Created backup on internal drive. Ran good BUT also got corrupt validation, so that rules out a problem with the external drive.

d) Was able to mount / browse both backup TIB files.

I have a feeling that if and when this post gets replied to, that I will be told it's because of a "hardware problem". But there are no known hardware problems with my system.

So, what's up with this? Here's the last 10 lines or so from the notification that I send myself:

16 Information 12/24/2011 3:10:43 AM The following backups have been successfully created: "E:\My backups\Full_System_Backup.tib"
17 Information 12/24/2011 3:10:43 AM Updating backup database: Inserting new backup version with record ID 0 into backup with ID 529714766413775510 of backup group with ID 0.

Please advise. This is driving me nuts, and I am afraid that because of this, it will abort if I had to try to do a system restore.

Thanks...

Andy,

Best guess is what you expected: hardware issue. Try to run memtest86 overnight. If you don't see any errors, try to remove/check the memory cards until validation passes.
Since you can mount the backup, there is a very good chance your backup is good.

If you have a spare disk, try to restore onto that disk to confirm (at the end of the day, this is the ultimate validation...)

Thanks, Pat. I will run memtest86 this week. I don't have a spare disk to try a restore, but you're right - I need to find out / get one to see if the restore will work...because if it does, I will just not do a validation. It might be a bit before I post back here with results. I appreciate the help!
