    I think i found the problem.

    The BESR backups are saved to an internal disk.

    After the backup, the system takes the last backup set, and copies it to an external USB disk.

    There is 1 usb disk per day, wich is moved to an external storage place.

    One of these disks seems to have a problem, and was not replaced for a few days.

    I reformatted this disk, and it is now making a full backup again.

    This could explain the intermittent problem.

Hi Marcus,

Yes, there is no other backup software on this system, and of course i rebooted (more than once).

But this is an old version of the software.  Not version 2010, but version 6.5

It has been working fine without much problems since it was installed.

I don't think the client will concider buying a complete new version at this moment.

This problem seems to exist between all versions.

What does this error mean??   Does the software think there has been tampered with it??  And if yes: why?
