Deployment Error - Archive corrupted - 0x00340001 + 0x00070020

Thread needs solution

Hello everyone,

during the deployment of a Windows 7 image (Home Premium x64), at the end of the process, the distribution failed with the error "Archive corrupted - 0x00340001+0x00070020". The deployment was performed from Windows Server 2012 R2, and the image was created with Acronis True Image 2017 from a test virtual machine (on virtualbox). The previous test, with a Windows 10 Professional image, was ended correctly.  

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

Thanks.

The images are not always cross-compabible between diifferent Acronis offerings (True Image, Backup 11.7/12 and/or Snap Deploy).  If you're deploying an image with Snap Deploy, you should be creating the image with Snap Deploy as well.  You could deploy your original image to a machine and then take a new image of it with Snap Deploy and see if that helps. 

However, as this did work before, let's assum it is compatible...  Perhaps the disk the archive is located on is having issues and has dirty/bad sectors which has corrupted the contents on those sectors.  i would start with a chkdks /f /r on the source drive where the arhive lives.

As another test, I would copy the backup .tib file to an external hard drive and attempt to recover it with True Image since that's what it was taken with and see if even that is successful.  If that is successful, then try restoring it with the stand-a-lone Snap Deploy recovery media and see if that works.  If that works, then attach the same USB external hard drive to the server and attempt to deploy the image from teh USB drive instead of the existing drive that's being used by the server. 

I don't use virtual box so can't say if that has anything to do with things.  We do use VMWare workstation for building base images and that has worked well.  However, you want to make sure to NOT install things like VMWARE tools on your base image as you don't want those virtual drivers conflicting with physical hardware when the image is deployed again.  Perhaps Virtualbox has similar features that need to be left out of the virtual system as well?  I'm not sure. 

Hello, Thanks for the reply. A previous test, with the same environment conditions has been successful.

I will try to perform other tests, following your suggestions. I will try to create the master image with Acronis Snap Deploy image creator, from a Vmware workstation virtual machine (without vmware tools).

In your opinion, it's better a full backup on a single file tib or on mutiple files tib (as default acronis true image create multiple files tib, one for every disk volume)?

P.S.: Usually i deploy the images from a server through a vpn connection
