Microsoft Backup Verification Failed

[silkunicorn]

I have been using the Backup in System Tools for many years and have
never gotten any problems. But in my last two backups, both
Verification process were failed and under "Backup Status", it said
"FAILED". In the Backup Report, there were a couple of files that
couldn't be backup with the error "It's either corrupted or not
existed" and were skipped.

I looked at the backup file and it seems to have the total size of
backup like those I have in the past. And when I clicked on it, the
Backup Restore Wizard came on. Could someone please tell me what could
be the problems. The files that showed corrupted have been in my drive
for a long time and haven't been modified at all. So I know they were
not corrupted and do exist. And the backup file I have, is it a good
one or it couldn't be used to restore if my drive failed?

Any comments/suggestions are much appreciated.

FYI, I am using Windows XP SP3.

Thank you.

I suggest not using MS Backup at all

simply copy any data you need to save...directly

I don't know if you are serious or not. Of course, I know I have a
choice to not using the MS backup. But that's not the issue here,
isn't it?
