It¹s not a Dell issue with me, since I am running Windows on a Mac. In the past, I have always been able to finally get a backup by running Check/Repair a couple of times, and randomly ticking and unticking the Multimedia box. Today, however, I have been unable to back up my database in spite of numerous, numerous attempts. Nor have any sort of updates, etc. done the trick.
I am a staunch advodate of Legacy, but this is a serious problem for me. I used TMG for years, and this could send me running back. There is nothing as basic as security about the integrity of a backup.
