Try doing a soft reset before a backup. It sounds like you are trying to copy files that currently being used. __________________ Steve Moderator, Dave’s iPAQ Dave’s iPAQ is not affiliated with HP Don’t forget to check out my weekly Tips & Tricks segment on the Dave’s iPAQ Podcast.

I always get this error – Doesn’t seem to affect the restore which I’ve had to do a few times. __________________ Laura Moderator, Dave’s iPAQ Dave’s iPAQ is not affiliated with HP Members Only FAQ Section .

According to Sprite Backup, which I believe license their product to HP: Why I am getting the following error mesage: \\Windows\ActiveSync\GCounterFile.mmf File could not be included. Is my backup file corrupted? Answer No your backup file is not corrupted. The gcounterfile.mmf is a counter file that ActiveSync re-creates everytime you synchronize your device. The file is excluded by default in all releases of Sprite Backup later than version 3.0.1.
Please ignore the warning message for the time being. |

Thanks everyone. Now, the message is little worse than the previous one. It says that the backup is corrupted and advises me to verify the SD Card. Should I be: (A) fraid (N) ever mind. It´s a bug. The message says that something went wrong but trully.. it´s okey.
(P) anic ??? |

1 and 3 I think.
I would do a soft reset, and repeat the Backup. __________________ Laura Moderator, Dave’s iPAQ Dave’s iPAQ is not affiliated with HP Members Only FAQ Section . Have news? Submit it .
