I copied my working drive to the backup and verified that later by an other program:
Have a look at the attached image. Source drive is on the left side, target on the right.
This looks to me as if the content of REGIST~2.exe gets copied to RegistryTester.exe. To be honest - I have no idea on how to explain this: REGIST~2.exe and RegistryTester.exe both exist in my directory and show up like normal files under Windows. Both can be started. I suppose REGIST~2.exe to be an old version of 'RegistryTester.exe' named according Windows to 8.3 filename replacement rules. No idea why and how it got stored there...
The .LOG-file displays a normal copy operation for both of the files: REGIST~2.exe -> REGIST~2.exe!
Whatever the reason for this is: Under no circumstances the content of 1 file must be contained after copying in an other one!
The problem is not a minor one: ~160 occurences in my 680GB of data! Making it very hard to check integrity of the backup.
I was just wondering what program you use to check the integrity of the backup? I have been looking for a good one.
Thanx,

Blushes - I use a program named FileSync. Current version is v2.18, dated 14. July 2000.
It still runs flawlessly on WinXP, but I really do not know for Vista or Windows 7...

FileSync was published by ; http://www.fileware.com/
Oh and I wanted to mention SyncBack (V3.2.21.0 - the latest release) too. This program was not able to do this task in rasonabe time... Maybe it works on less data.
