Backup Succeeded with Warnings

Thread needs solution

Hello:

I made a backup with Acronis Backup 11.7.  The result was "Succeeded with warnings."  Is the backup bad?  I did extract some files from the backup and they were fine.

Thanks,

Grayson

Hello,

The screenshot shows that the backup was forced into sector-by-sector mode. This usually means that there is a problem with the filesystem and our product couldn't parse it correctly. The sector-by-sector mode copies all the sectors (including those for free space), meaning that the backup is absolutely fine, but it will usually take longer to do and be larger in size than a file-system aware backup.

The usual fix for this type of issue is to run a "chkdsk /r" command to fix filesystem errors ( https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee872425.aspx) for the volumes you were backing up.
