I have the issue of growing backup files, where only parts of the file are accessible (more files are in the backup file than are shown under the Norton interface) . I assume the issue is coming from the following:
For some reasons - maybe when the automatic backup process to my external harddrive is unexpectedly interrupted - the catalog file backup.@db gets emptied/corrupted and during the next incremental backup the whole backup starts all over again because Norton thinks there is nothing backuped up so far. While the previous backup up files are still there (i can see them with explorer), they cannot be accessed and Norton is just adding the same files again.
Is there a feasible solution to this? I read somewhere else that ARESTORE.EXE can rebuild the catalog, but how to prevent this issue in the first place?
Help is much appreciated since I have to set up new backups all the time!
