The copy windows refers to the file as Thumbs.db. I cant find this file on my hard drive anywhere.
What is this file? and what should I do?
I would hate to think I have a good backup when infact it is bad.

That has to do with thumbnail images in the various files.
It is unimportant and if Windows needs the file and can not locate it,
another is created instantly.
