Should a validated True Image 2012 backup be retorable
Thread needs solution
Used True Image 2012 to backup Windows 7 as a full image backup. Validated OK.
Then on attempt to restore (from WD Elements, a Flash drive- via USB 2), got message “backup corrupted.”
Two other backups received same message. A third worked.
I did a Windows 7 based Memory test and it was OK. My Passport does not blink indicating power OK.
After recovery I successfully mounted one of the allegedly corrupted backups and was able to see my files. Could I have somehow used the allegedly corrupt backup to restore the entire image including system files ? If so how ?
How can I assure myself that a validated backup will actually restore OK.
