Archive files are like others, they can be corrupted due to hardware problems or while transferring them through a network, downloading from a server or sending them using email.
The verify and repair function allows you to check the data integrity.
If a truncated file is found, Backup2005 Pro will try to repair it and make the archive file available.
This function can be used with any zip file even if it has not been built using Backup2005 Pro.
Pick the file to verify and repair. Click the small folder button to browse your computer.
You can get information about the file by clicking the Information button.
When ready press the OK button.
At the end of the process a message is displayed with information about files unavailable, files repaired or, if no error has been encountered, a message to that effect.
This function uses a temporary folder (the one provided in the Standard Profile dialog box, or the standard Windows Temporary folder). So if you check a very large archive file, you must be sure that you have enough free disk space to handle it.
