Guest chocbrandy Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 I'm recieving the following back error when trying to restore from a USB hard drive. "the backup file contains unrecognized data that cannot be used" I did a full backup to a network share, then copied the backup to a usb harddrive. For some reason i'm able to do a restore from the netowrk share, but it is very, very slow. I thought if i copied the backup file to a usb drive i could do it from there. Any suggestions, or tips would be grealy helpful? John
