Backup Err Msg: Invalid Volume Information Block Detected (104868)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.21
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
This article was previously published under Q104868 SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following error message when rebuilding a catalog
using Microsoft Backup for Windows (MWBACKUP.EXE) if you are using the last
disk of the backup set to rebuild the catalog.
Invalid Volume Information Block
Detected. The component cannot be used.
CAUSE
This error message may occur if the backup set was created using the
BACKUP command from a version of MS-DOS earlier than 6.0.
WORKAROUND
To correctly restore the backup set, you must use the RESTORE.EXE command
from MS-DOS versions 6.0 and later. For information on using RESTORE, type
help restore at an MS-DOS command prompt.
MORE INFORMATION
This error is not generated when using MS-DOS versions 6.0 and later
Microsoft Backup for MS-DOS (MSBACKUP.EXE) to rebuild the catalog. Backup
for MS-DOS correctly determines that the backup set was created using the
previous MS-DOS BACKUP command and displays the appropriate error
message. Also, if any disk other than the last disk is used to rebuild
the catalog in Backup for Windows, then it too correctly determines
that the backup set was created using a previous MS-DOS BACKUP command
and displays the appropriate error message.
