Please insert Z a disk into drive A: [This message seems to happen at Account .] Check all account properties for that account whether there's nothing that's referencing to something on drive A: It might be that TB doesn't want to write to A: but in stead wants to read something. Z 2. An error occured while storing data of the folder X. It is Z possible that the message index is damaged - try to delete the index Z file and re-read the folder, then try to backup again. Create a new folder, make TB move all messages from your problem folder to this new folder, close TB delete the messages.tbb and .tbi files for your problem folder start TB move all messages back Follow the same procedure for the folder before and the folder immediately after the problem folder. (Just to make sure that you've pinpointed the right folder as causing problems.) When this procedure causes problems it might be that you've got a virus infected message in your folder, in that case disable your virus scanner, find the infected message, delete it, compress the folder, enable your virus scanner and try it again. I can't guarantee that this solves your problems, but it might help. -- Groetjes, Roelof Windows: Ultimate memory manager. It manages to use it all.

Backup problems [2]
I didn't see any response to my previous post. So I am trying again. I
did a backup today; and get the same 2 messages. Hope some one has the
answer.

Subject: Backup problems {Fwd)
I did a backup; and I got 2 messages:
1. TheBat.exe - No disk -- There is no disk in the drive. Please insert
a disk into drive A: [This message seems to happen at Account .]
2. An error occured while storing data of the folder X. It is
possible that the message index is damaged - try to delete the index
file and re-read the folder, then try to backup again.
Re: message #1. in the first backup, I click Cancel and it continues.
I did a backup again. This time, I put in a diskette and click Try
again; and it continued. But when I look at that diskette after the
backup, it has no contents. What is that message?
Re: message #2. After the first backup, I deleted the tbi file for
that folder. Re-click on that folder and it rebuilds the tbi. Then I
ran the backup again. The same message pops up again. There is no
apparent problem with that folder. What could be causing this error
message?
Thanks in advance

Re: Backup problems
Hi Chris! What is the error? Or did it actually say Something is not OK...? Yes. More or less, it points me to delete the index file of one folder. There are two bars that monitor free space during the backup process. Watch those. That is not the problem 40 GB free on the hard drive.

Backup problems
Hello tbudl, I decided to reinstall my computer... Therefore I want to make a backup. That should be an easy task if only TB would do it. Everytime I try it I get an error message that something is not ok. The last time I did it I followed the advice to delete the .TBI file and tried it again, but with the same message. Is there another way to backup and restore then using the Tools menu item or another way to trick TB to backup my accounts? (Maybe my mail database is too large. Right now it has 670 MB on HD.) -- Best regards, Raymund Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

The index files (at least in version 1.63) are the files that end in .tbi. Close down TB!, locate the .tbi file(s) in question and delete them. TB! will re-create them when you fire up the program again. Each folder (inbox, sent etc.) of each account contains a .tbi file. Important note: Do not delete the .tbb files!

and 'runtime error' messages)...and decided to back up
all...(address book, settings and folders etc with messages for two
POP accounts and one IMAP account). Synchronised the IMAP
account/folders, then went off-line Then ran Backup...
Got a message to say there were problems backing up two of the folders
(Sent and Trash) in the IMAP account...and suggested I delete the
index files and start again
Decided not to bother... I think I will just exclude IMAP message
folder from backup...or maybe copy messages to a local folder and
backup from there...
