Hi,

I am using 64bit ViceVersa Pro 3.0
I have got the following message when I started copying a folder across to another drive.
I have looked for help but I could do with some hints as this is the first time I have met this issue.

1.
Quote:

Starting... Ok
Copying "AcronisTrueImage2016_build6571_2016-07-02.exe" (479.63MB) ... [Can not read data. Incorrect function.] Error.


What does "Can not read data. Incorrect function.] Error" mean please, and how can I resolve it?

2.
Later on I got another similar message for a different file.

In all there were 12 files out of approx 400,000 which had this message, and 11 were in one folder.


Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi,

'Incorrect function' is the Windows error ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION = 1 (0x1).
See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms681382(v=vs.85).aspx

There could be many reasons why this general error is given. Is there a pattern you can identify that links the 11 files reporting this error?

thanks

Hi TGRMN Software,

Thank you, I will look deeper, but it may be just the age of the backup media.

Can I clarify a couple of things to help me please?

- In case it makes a difference, I just point out that the error message is not
ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION = 1 (0x1), but "[Can not read data. Incorrect function.] Error"

- Am I right in then thinking that this error is pointing out it is a Windows error and not a VV error?

- Is it worth me trying to repeat a small sample using my previous VV Pro 2.0 ?

I wanted to attach a screen dump during the process, but I couldn't work out how to upload it here. Apparently it prevents me also from referencing my external website as well. (Can you advise me 'how to ' please?)

Sorry to maybe ask dumb questions, I don't use VV Pro much.

Thanks

I can confirm is the same error.

Yes, the error comes from Windows.

That could be useful to see if the error changes with a different version of ViceVersa.

thanks!
