Hi all, My backup strategy so far has been very basic: I have a couple windows xp computers and a couple of external drives. I schedule a backup of files from my official set of files to my external drive. And I also manually copy the files from time to time to some other drive.
This was mostly working fine but a while ago I realized a bunch of files were corrupt, and I have no idea when or how they got corrupted. There are 2 symptoms of corruption: 1. both thumbnail and full image will not open 2. thumbnail will display, but full image will not open The scarier symptom is when the thumbnail appears to be fine but is in fact corrupt, because there is no easy way to verify if the files were backed up successfully. Anyway: is there any way that you can verify if a jpeg file is working correctly / not corrupt? Is there a way to verify that your "copy" operation was successful? (I have no evidence that the copy operation is what corrupted my files, so maybe I should just continue on with my copy operations and trust that they are okay). Your thoughts on this are appreciated! --------------------------- Sam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
