Unable to Perform a Backup

Recommended Posts

Attempted to do a project backup and got the following error message:

 

"Input file read failure - this error occurs when a file read operation is performed on a Zip file that is locked or restricted by another process."

 

I then clicked on the OK button and got the next error:

 

"Errors occured during backup. The output file c:________.sqz could not be created."

 

Any suggestions as to what is going on here? And how I can fix it?

This happens with some users when they try to backup to an external drive. Try doing your backup to your hard drive and then copy the backup to the external drive.

Thanks. I had just used the default settings for everything in the backup procedure, which had it going to the C: drive, but it was attempting to put it in a Backup folder which didn't exist. I changed to different folder and everything worked. Again, thanks.
