Retrospect HD backup error: "...didn't compare at offset..."

Jun 13, 2007 11:54PM PDT

I have Retrospect Express HD for Windows version 1.0.196, and the last several backup attempts have produced the following error:

File "C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Downloaded Programs\Other Apps\Nero 6.6 Major Update\nero_photoshow_express_setup_intl_us.exe": didn't compare at offset 104 in stream ":Zone.IdentifierATA"

I don't think I've changed anything to this file path lately, either, which is the perplexing part, and I've had this on my computer for a very long time and backups occured without any problems, at least until the last week or so.

Does anyone happen to know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Yea, I can't get an answer out of Dantz so far, except "ignore it."

But I've tried several backups, and all of them give me this same error with this file. I think the file is just an install file, so I may just uninstall and reinstall.

Just delete it...

nero_photoshow_express_setup_intl_us.exe is just an update that, judging from its location, you have already most likely installed. No need for any "uninstall and re-install".

After deleting it you can ALWAYS download it again if for some reason you really want it in your backups.
