Was my backup successful?

[snoopcat]

I did a backup of a 435 GB folder with 213 large files (movies) & the job finished with no errors but a warning: DECOMPRESSION ERROR.
The source disk containing the files is in an external usb 2 sansdigital cabinet (not raid) , the target disk(s) is an external RAID 1 Sansdigital MR2UT cabinet.
Would you please explain what that means & if I should repeat the backup or what?
I think it says that the B4All could not compress the backup so it is a straight copy. (that would be ok).
Thank you

Hi,

Please download the latest version of Backup4all 5.0.336.
Run a manual test for that backup by pressing the Test (F9) button.
If the error appears again in the test, you will have to run again the backup.
