I backedup my system and it said it was sucessful but I get sn error message
when I try to restore. "An inconsistency was encountered in the requested
backup file." Please help.
 
What software was used to perform the backup, did you do a full backup or
something else? is this the exact wording of the error, if not please give
the exact wording of the error.
 
I used the backup utility for windows on my pc. XP media center is the os.
Yes, this is the exact wording.
 
ok, thanks.

it appears you have a CRC error or possibly a bad sector on your HD.
I personally wouldn't use XP's built in backup software, I use a third party
(Acronis True Image) are you attempting to restoring a file or multiple
files? of personal data or windows system stuff?

Please state the reason you attempted a restore.
 
I strongly urge you to get better backup software, ie Acronis True Image.
I couldn't begin to know why your getting errors, could be a host of things,
so get better software soon, you will need a 2nd hd internal or external is
up to you

I use an external USB/SATA drive and create a clone of my system drive, I
also have seperate files backups on CD/DVD, just in case.
