Hi Barry, I glad you managed to test it. 1. Can you then confirm that this specific problem manifests itself under XP SP1 and not under SP2? 2. Is the on-line help refer to Binary Magic drivers as "3rd Party" drivers or as the "Packet Drivers" ? I am a bit confused about the term...

Hi Barry, I hope we are both refer to "test phase" the same, meaning a test at the end of the full writing process or at the end of writing to each medium : the 3rd DVD was never written - I got the error message after changing the 2nd medium with the blank 3rd (as prompted), hoping to con...

I tried to burn the 10GB file onto DVDs using the backup feature in Acronis' TrueImage program. Went very smoothly, auto-splitting the file into 3 DVDs, and took only about 35-40 minutes (w/o verification). In the past you mentioned that a replacement to the AISBackup's 3rd party DVD writer is consi...

Aborted BU job to DVD -R

Using 2.3.2.300 on Win XP SP1, tried to backup a huge file (10GB) to DVD -R. Staging area was about 3GB. Used the internal DVD writer, no compression, overflow prevention at 25MB. The program wrote the 1st segment (~2GB) OK, then the second segment (~1+GB) OK, but when trying to write the third segm...

Hi Barry, Regarding the lack of power for the 2.5" drive: I bought a miniature 4-port USB 2.0 hub for my notebook computer 3 years ago from a micro-innovations' retailer (costed then $24) . It has a jack for an external power source (5V 2.6A) for power-hungry USB devices that are hooked up to t...

I tried some things, and it is a bit messy (all with DVD -RW, in debug mode, same file to backup as in my 1st post): 1. Attempting to backup with 1.04GB free hard disk space, no verification during backup: program wrote 1 segment group to the DVD (a bit less than 1GB in size), opened the DVD drive t...

Nero reported 97MB free space after adding the last session.

Being an optimistic person, I haven't used -RW for these tests yet. I should have.

What address should I use to send the log file?

Hi Barry, I will wait for your tests. BTW, the reported disk space before, during and after the staging process was fine - I double checked the space left with Windows Explorer during the process, and it matched the reported space by the backup program. Also, I doubt that it is a bad media - after I...

Running into the same "failed to complete" message - now with B.289 Disk free space was about 1.26GB. Staging was OK, leaving 100MB free after writing each segment group to the staging arae (this is a non-OS carrying partition). When the free space on the DVD was below the segment size (in...

I will wait for your upload then.
As indicated in my top post, I use DVD -R. I've never had a problem with bad media before. For this job I used Philips 1-8X media, and I also have Verbatim Advanced AZO+ DVD-R V.2.1 (first time that I've noticed a version number associated with a media...)

Hi Barry, I read your reply to my 7:32am post before you pulled it out. I ran in debug mode, and now I did not see the endless rewrites of segments to the staging area: The segments generation (each about 1GB in size) went fine (leaving always 100MB free disk space) until I was left with 485MB on my...

Now using B.288, a new issue has cropped up: Same job parameters as in my top post, except free disk space is now 1.06GB. Program started to build a zip file in the staging area ( x_000.AIL ), consumed all available disk space, deleted the staged file and immediately started to build the next zip fi...

Thanks for the response.

You said "I would not recommend using a stage size of the capacity of the media if possible". Please explain this comment, since I used a staging area of about a quarter of the media capacity: 1.18GB staging area vs. 4.4GB DVD-R (4.7GB nominal).

AISBackup built a 1.11GB segment in the staging area and wrote it to the DVD. ...
