Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr... this is just a general rant.
A couple of weeks ago I found myself offline for a while due to the failure at the same time of 2 identical drives.
To cut a very long story short.. the backup drive must have overheated and parts of this drive are unrecoverable. However, when the backup drive died it must have caused a windows crash where vital windows sys files (and some others) were lost and complete horror when the master fat table couldnt be read.
After days of work using ubunto recovery and help from someone who knew linux commands, I recovered my C+D drive... and 'some' of the data from the E: drive. F: was completed knacked but that was ok cause F was a mirror of D. My Norton Ghost backups on E: was some of the unrecoverable data as once the drive warmed up it just refused to read anything.
So... I know have a working system but no backup.
Not trusting another SATA drive in the caddy for the backup because they become too hot.. I have a new NAS storage (Lynksys ShareCenter) which I left over night performing a brand new Ghost image and I thought all was fine.
Until a power cut this morning knocked off my PC and when it came back up it said I needed to perform a new backup. Huh? I thought all was well? The image looked ok.
So the next 4 hours I start another backup... and very right at the end of it I get.
Error ED800012: The internal structure of the image file (CRC Check or Frame Header) is invalid, damaged or unsupported.
After just looking into this it seems my verion of Ghost doesnt support ghost imaging properly to NAS devices and this is a known issue.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Still no backup in place for my C Drive.
