TI 2018 restore: index corrupted / cannot restore & all backups corrupted?
I see many posts asking for help but no real solutions.
My drive got corrupted & when I tried to restore I've found that every daily backup for over 2 months gets the same error when first starting restore: index corrupted. If I try to continue, it tries to restore, eventually keeps failing on many files, when I cancel it ends with restore successful.
1. How do I restore my PC? Or have I lost everything?
As noted in some threads, I mount the tib file, run scandisk, get many errors. Write mount has been removed, so can't use chkdsk /f. I tried an old copy of TI 2014 (to get mount with write), but the password mechanism has changed so I can't unlock any backups.
2. What is causing this?
There's no indication these backups were worthless. Nothing. The backup logs every day show perfect success. Validate always worked. Maybe for over a year now I've actually had all corrupt backups.
3. What's happened to True Image that it can make corrupt backups with no warning at all?
Trying 2019, at least I got "index corrupted" right away. I'd been using 2018, and it just tried to restore & failed, thought it looked like it restored but no files. I have to look at the restore log to at least discover why I kept restoring but got no good bootable drive.
