Compression error

Hello,

The first view backups I've done look like they have completed but end with an error. When I review the log it says "compression" error. When I try to open the zip file it says the same thing. Anyone ever come across this error and have a fix?

Thanks,

KPG

Hi,

How much RAM memory you have?
Please try to manually create a zip file using WinZip with a size larger than your RAM memory.
See if you have any problems doing that.

Hi,

I have 16GB of Ram on Windows 8.1.

Do you think breaking up the backups into 3 smaller sections would be better instead of one large backup?

Hi,

You can try that.
Did you also tried to create a large zip file?
