It is sounding like the recovery did not succeed. If the backup failed to recover even a single block of data it will cause the decompression to fail. Windows doesn't really have all the best tools to debug these kinds of issues. > .gnucash files are all between 70kb and about 140kb. Assuming you mean KB (KiloBytes) and not kb (kilobits), those files are probably about the correct size if you don't have a ton of transactions. My 15-year-old data file is 2.8 MB. Note: Backups only work if you copy the data to another storage system off your main system. > Adam Hodnett > Videographer | Project Coordinator -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
