If the Backup operation fails, restore the file from a previous backup. After restoring the file, run check consistency operation:

  • If the consistency check is successful, no further action is required.
  • If the consistency check finds and unrecoverable medium error, it means that the medium error is located in non-user data. No further action is required as, writing data to the location of the medium error fixes the problem.
