Try to import the messages from your > moved messages.tbb file. i tried the above steps multiple times but TB backup pops up the same error message as it processes that inbox each and every time. lacking any ideas of my own, my next step is to let the backup continue and do a test restore to determine what, if anything, is wrong with the restored messages. apart from keeping a safe copy of the messages.tbb file to import from if necessary, i don't know what else to try. thanks/regards, .. mark davidson -- ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.95.08 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
