RE: Backup - files did not verify

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I've had the same problem even though I've gone so far as to disable my
network connection to give more CPU time to Backup. I was surprised that I
couldn't find any other reports of this issue. Interestingly, when I restore
from the backup the files that "did not verify", I find that they're the same
as the originals. In other words, Backup is giving false alarms.

In the last month, have you found a solution?
