Hi Everyone, I have never lost a message with TB, for nearly three years that I have had it - regular versions and beta versions. This morning, I found that when I started TB, I got an error from windows that I needed to run check disk (win XP, SP 3) because the inbox/tbb file was corrupted and unreadable. When I ran check disk, it removed (what was) the TBB files to a folder called FOUND.000 in the root directory of my E:\ drive (where my documents, including mail files, are stored). In that folder are two files - FILE000.chk (368 kb) and FILE 001.chk (12.5 MB, same size as what .tbb for the inbox was).
I had used the TB backup utility about six weeks ago and was able to restore all mail up through that date. My questions, if you can answer them: 1. What could cause the .tbb file to become so corrupted it was unreadable by Windows (I do regularly use the folder maintenance feature); 2. Is there any way to recover what are in the chk files? I should add that the in box was fine when I last checked mail before shutting down the pc (2 AM) and the detection of corruption was first noticed by windows when I started up TB around 8 AM upon first boot up of the PC. I also have learned that I should back up mail once a week - not once every 4-6 weeks! Thanks for any help here.
