I've got some files that are corrupted. It creates a big problem because my back-up software stops copying when it encounters them. That makes means I have to manually go in and back up file folders.
I can't delete them using the normal delete command.
If you are using 98 you can click on the start button click on run and type sfc (system file checker) click scan for altered files then click start It may prompt you to extract a file from your installation disc.
You can also delete things that can't be easily deleted if you boot into safe mode. But make sure you know what you are deleting or you will turn into a self made computer tech the hard way. I say that from experience.
2. There should be a way to specifically exclude them
from the backup. Look at your backup program options. You can also go into Safe Mode (presuming you have Windoze) and try deleting or renaming them from there- the system will often deny access to a file if the system is using it, so going to Safe Mode can bypass that.
It worked slick as a whistle, until I ran into some corrupted data files...now the rountine stops when it encounters these files. I keep my business info in a single file/directory on my desktop, so I only back that filefolder up to stay current.
