Well I can ignore it. :)

Make better plans next time.  Test your backups regularly.  If you
haven't recovered any of your backups lately, they might be worthless.


Every time I make the backup file and transfer to the other PC using
several different USB devices including high capacity ( 3 TG) backup
drives from Toshiba and WD Passport, I get Invalid Backup File when I
attempt to restore my data.  Archive size is 4.6 GB.


Why not try rsync?  You don't need to do the whole thing at once.  To
be frank I really don't think USB devices are especially well-suited
to backup purposes.  If it's so important, get a NAS devce or similar.

What do you back up your NAS device to? I use a 4 TB USB 3 external
drive. Two, actually. I rotate one to a safe deposit box.
