Corrupted Backups

Thread needs solution

After my hard drive went down, I went to restore and keep receiving a message that all of my backups (2 TB) are corrupt. I would very much like to recover some data. I don't particularly care about a complete restore, but I am clueless. Is there a way to access any of the data in the files.

You should try different things:

- copy the full chain of backups you want to restore from to (another) USB disk drive, attach the disk to your computer and retry.
- in Windows, double click on each backup file starting with the last full. If the backup file opens, move the next file until you have a failure. Let's use know what the failure is.

If after copied, you cannot open any full backup valuable to you, you have no hope.
