Two problems: 1. You need to at least take the effort of reading the basic documentation before seeking help here. Hint #1: there are no "data files" stored in the pc tree Hint #2: Your statement "I didn't even know that my backups are completely broken and missing all files." sounds ridiculous
2. Even if there really is a problem, how in the world can we expect to help you if you don't provide any log files or other details regarding the backup, including in particular for "this" file? Please show us the courtesy of taking the effort to ask an appropriately-prepared and supported question...
