I decided to try out the Boot Camp thing on a fresh install so I backed up my files with Apple’s Backup software. The installation went fine and I booted back into OS X and downloaded Backup again, a here is where the problem starts.
When I locate the backup file on my external drive and attempt to restore my files, Backup simply fails. I’ve tried moving the backup files off the external drive onto the local hard drive but the error persists.
When I attempt to restore, Backup ‘scans’ all the files but fails at the start of the copying process. The log reports the following:
An internal application error has occurred. The disk archive could not be attached.
I’ve repaired file permissions to see if that helped but it didn’t, and I’m posting because I’ve run out of ideas. If anyone could help in any way I would be very grateful.
Luckily I found a Backup file on a DVD from a couple of weeks ago, and that restored successfully, so I have most of my files back, but I’m still missing a lot of important ones.
Thanks.
Edit - sorry mods, this should probably be in Apps.
