Header of backup file is corrupt warnings v10.0.11345

Thread needs solution

Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, everytime I run a backup I get the error shown below twice in a row. I am not using the VSS option. It doesn't matter whether I pick the system partition (C:) or a non-system partition, I get the same error message:

Hello Vaxman2,

Thank you for posting your question, I will be happy to help.

There can be several reasons of the encountered issue:

1) The created archives are corrupted. Could you please verify the archives for corruption (Actions -> Validate)? If the program detects the archive corruption, please follow the guide available in this article

The troubleshooting scheme will guide you through steps to find out whether the backups are detected as corrupt due to the machine's faulty hardware, or they get corrupted during data transfer from network or USB, or due to the faulty transfer cable, etc.

2) The issue is caused by the blocked access to the archive. Could you please clarify where backup archive is placed (whether it's on internal, external, or network hard drive)? Could you please place the archive to another location and see if the issue remains? Please use this article on how to export the archive if it is necessary. 

Please let us know the results, we should be sure that the program runs flawless for you. If the provided information is not clear or if you have any other question do not hesitate to post them and we will be glad to answer.

Thank you.
