- I have the same setup (with the high speed controller) and I have
- had no problems doing restores with CPBackup.
-
- However, when I do backups and follow with a compare, I notice
- that there are quite a few recoverable errors (ca. 5 per 30MB) and
- often 1 non-recoverable error (most frequently on a .ARC file which
- the software is not supposed to compress). Is this rate of
- recoverable errors normal? This leaves me less than confident about
- the security of my backups.
