I tested access to the backup and received message "windows cannot open the folder . the compressed (zipped) folder E:\dailydata critical\1_d.zip" is invalid."
Last information i had on this problem said if the file was bigger than 4GB it was created using zip64 technology. So i broke up the data so that the critical files i need are only 2.474 GB but i get the same error. I do not have any scheduled tasks set on this computer. I'm running version 9.9
Other backups using the same naming sytem x_d.zip do not generate this error. They can be read and opened confirming access. One backup is even 6,125,030KB=6.125GB
This is for critical data that i MUST be able to restore if ever the need arises. I've done everything i can think of but no -go. PLEASE help!

Re: windows cannot open the folder
Hi,
The zip component of Windows cannot handle large zip files.
Please use WinZip, WinRar or 7zip to extract large zip files.
Of course you can use FBackup to restore the zipped backups it created.
