Aero for two
The second time I needed to do a quick restore of a failing disk is the second time I was unable to get one.
This time every attempt with Windows, WinPE and Linux yielded a message before and after the restore that the .tib file had a "corrupted Index" yet every attempt to validate the backup gave an all clear response.
I had excellent support from a technician but the conclusion was that the file must have been corrupted. The file size was correct and I can't believe that ATI doesn't include a checksum in the .tib file.
My guess is that the OS disk had an index problem at the time it was backed up but ATI did not check and does not check when it validates the file but fails to restore.
I was able to clone the OS disk but I wanted it back at the last full backup. Anyway, I expect all the differentials would have had the same problem.
ATI scorecard:
Technician A+
Backup A
Restore F
In my experience it is a write only backup system.
Since this is for information etc. I will mention that through the process and for years my Windows Home Server backups have been working non-stop though I know, or expect, that only a Windows 7 system disk can be restored to boot. My other computers being UEFI and Windows 10 just have the backed up data available, though I did once restore a Windows 10 UEFI machine but I had to use a third party boot repair.
BTW, does anyone know how to induce an Index Corruption so that I can do additional testing.
