Fatal Error in backup.

[dforsyth]

When Running the Backup Brogram, I'm getting a "Fatal Alert" MemoryMgr.c Line:3571, Non-word-aligned handle.

My guess in the memory is corrupt. Any ideas how to fix, short of delete every thing and relead?

Can you give us some more details? Which backup program? MSBackup? And did you get this error when doing the backup or doing a restore?

[dforsyth]

MSBackup, alert pops up when making a backup.

[rldunn]

That's a strange one. You get the same error message every time? Does it happen in the same spot in the backup? If so, an you tell what file is causing it?

Yes, it does sound like a corrupt file to me too.

Tried a number of other backup programs. get the same crash. Also get crash use a file manager to view the internal memory files.

Gave up and did a hard reset... :(

Sorry, not much can be done if you have a corrupt file. If it's any consolation, I had to do a hard reset earlier after trying to run WinHand. Although somewhat of a pain, all is well having good multiple backups. I backup my MS to the hard drive and backup the RAM to several memory sticks. The desktop backup is useless once it has been contaminated.
