Failed Backup Pics

Here's my dilemma. I run an auto backup nightly of various docs, etc. I also do so with photos (jpegs) that reside in folders in a photo directory. Recently I purchased a Canon Rebel XS. I have several folders I have created over the last few months containing the downloaded photos from that camera only. I backup to both an internal secondary drive as well as a manual backup to an external drive. Upon checking the folders that had been backed up to both secondary and external I find that I cannot access the folders containing the Canon photos. I receive an error saying 'access denied, make sure the disk is not right protected or full'. When I mouse over the folders they say 'empty'. Keep in mind their are other folders of digital pics residing there and with those I have no problem, only with the folders containing these Canon photos. I thought I would just copy and paste (manually) one of the folders from the primary drive to the secondary and just overwrite the offending folder but again error'ed out. I attempted to delete the offending folder and again was not allowed. I had to run an unlocker utility to delete the folder(s) and then I was able to manually copy and paste them into the secondary storage drive. The last thing I attempted was running the backup utility on just a few of the Canon jpegs sans folder. They showed up on the secondary but when I attempted to open them w/ Irfanview it said "can't read file header. unknown file format or file not found" Not sure where I should really ask about this as I'm not sure whether it's an OS (WinXP) issue, a Canon issue or the SD card. The backup utility I use is Delta Copy and the logs show no errors. tia for any assistance, Cam Sounds like your first problem is with the Delta Copy backup software, or the underlying rsync used by Delta Copy. I'd suggest going to the vendor on this problem. From http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/FAQList.do?cid=1, the following looks somewhat promising: "I am running into permission problems when accessing files copied through DeltaCopy Server." -- http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp...ayFAQ.do?fid=8 Perhaps you already had cygwin installed and DeltaCopy is using an incompatible rsync version. Regarding copying the files manually, just to start at the beginning; do the jpegs in the source folder open correctly? -- Len Posts from Google Groups are filtered by the country of origin.
