Subject: [TMG] Back-up Problem -- External Exhibits
Date: Fri, 27 May 2011 18:40:36 -0700 (PDT)


I am having a problem that I first encounter a couple of years ago.  I have been inspired to try get to the root cause by the
"Back-up Failure" thread that was started earlier this week.

The back-up routine Aborts and gives the same message that others report: "Input file read failure...file read operation is performed on a ZIP file that is
locked or is restricted by another process."  Then another small window appears that states "Output file write error, possible disk ' "

Symptoms: This error message always stops when trying to back up the same external
image.  It is about 75% through backing up ~ 2800 external exhibits.  I have looked at the details of this exhibit and everything looks OK.  It is a normal .jpg file.  The path to the exhibit is correct, as per the exhibit "properties window."

In an attempt to resolve this I have un-attached the exhibit, re-attached it and again backed-up-- no change.  I have un-attached the exhibit and then backed-up -- again the same error messages but this time on another exhibit at about the same spot on the "progress bar."

I have also tried all the suggestions made over the last 2-3 days regarding Norton 360 -- no change in the error message or the exhibit on which the back-up aborts.

This makes me wonder:

Is there possibly a limit to the number of external exhibits that can be backed up?

Or, to the cumulative size of the  exhibits being backed up?


For background:

Running Windows
XP, SP3, TMG Gold, Version
7.04

I have plenty of disk space to accommodate the back-up.


Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.  As always, they are much appreciated.
