Transfer of files between drives: data loss or corruption?

  1. Is there data loss or corruption during the transfer of files between disks in Windows 7?
  2. What about very large files, gigabytes in size?
  3. Is it possible to check if there is data loss or corruption?

Creation and verification of a checksum is a file operation.  It doesn't matter where the files are stored.

It doesn't matter if the source is a CD, a USB flash drive or a hard drive.  As much as the destination is concerned, if you write a large file on a CD, the possibility of error is greater if copy to a USB flash drive or an external hard drive.  Which is why you often see tips to burn at the slowest speed available when writing large critical files as an ISO installation file.

The only difference between 'copy' and 'move' is this movement copies the file and automatically deletes the original.

You want to make sure that the file copied correctly before the original has disappeared.  The way to ensure that is to perform a copy operation, check the integrity of the copied file and delete the original.

  • How to connect two ESXi hosts with a connection to 1Gbps via ADJUSTABLE and the transfer of files between them?

    Dear community,

    Like many of you, I am facing the problem of executing an effective backup of VMs. unfortunately I can't use standard methods: my servers are rented from the root servers and therefore haver some limits. Their main NIC is connected to the Internet on the speed of 100 MB. It's very slow, if I try to VM backup via this connection images. In addition, backup sessions running through the shared management interface are affecting the production of virtual machine performance.

    To resolve this problem, I ordered an additional network card to each server and asked the data center to connect my themwith a physical link (crossover cable). OK, between my servers 1Gbit link is established, but how do you use now?

    -I can not move the management interface of these cards, because they have no connection to the internet.

    -I can't use among the guest computers because the guest computer is unable to access the files on disk on the host computer.

    So, I've exhausted all my ideas. Maybe someone knows the trick that will let me use 1 GB link between two machines of ESXi to mutually backup disks of virtual machines from one host to another.

    Thanks in advance for your ideas.

    Who is King

    Anton

    Create a vSwitch on each host and set the NETWORK adapter that you will use with the x-over cable.

    Create a portgroup Console of service on each vSwitch and assign it an IP address on the same subnet for each server (router/gateway address does not necessary) for example 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 on each host.

    Connect the cables between the server network cards.

    You should have a link between two service consoles. I now download and deploy the device of the vMA, on the two hosts for the fault tolerance. Write a script on the VMAs on each host to a-i vmkfstools from one host to another and vice versa.

    If you have virtual machines registered pointing these VMDK on both hosts, then have your scripts remove the VMDK and re - the clone using vmfkstools whenever you back up, you should have a backup solution of rudimentary virtual machine (full copy) in place.

    Now you do not miss the service console?

    Good luck

  • RN102 - please remove inactive volumes in order to use the drive - data loss

    ReadyNas 102, 1 x 1 TB of disk (in 2nd driving position), belonging to 10 days, using 6.2.5

    If I go to actions it says: no volume or USB drives. It is recommended to create a volume before you set up other...

    If I had 2 drives (copies of each other) would I still lost all of these data. It seems that the reliability of disc is not my main concern, but the speaker.

    I've never had a pc lose all his data by car, make it look training crashed as the s/w me invites to use it. It looks like the o/s meta data, manage the contents of the disk are broken down.

  • The fastest way to transfer files between servers...

    I have a question regarding what would be the best option to accelerate the transfer of files between 2 servers to our VMware environment. We plan to spend our GroupWise email from netware to windows and upgrade to Groupwise (v7 to v8) at the same time. We will anticipate moving about ~ 125 gigabytes of data (files ~ 517 000) and expect that it will take several hours. We would like to minimize this time better we can so we wonder what would be the best configuration of things to get there? Two virtual machines on the same host? Two virtual machines on the data store even? On different hosts, or data warehouses? Our configurations are listed below:

    -In the course of running vSphere 4.1 ESXi

    -Data stored on 2 Dell Equalogic 5500 without

    -SAN one in each of the 2 sites, physically about 3 miles away

    -3 guests, 2 to a location and 1 in the other (same places the San)

    -Transfer of data from Netware 6.5 source, destination will be Windows 2008 R2 DataCenter

    -Links gigabit between all the elements of our VMware environment, including the link between the sites (on optical fiber).

    -3 guests are able to run all our virtual machines without overloading, so if we go to the virtual computer to another host, it is not a problem.

    We would like to know what is the best way to put everything in place for the transfer, so that we can prepare before hand. Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, the fastest way would be to offload the clone/copy to the San operation. If your configuration supports VAAI then the clone would happen completely on the SAN by assuming that the source and destination storage device is the same SAN. Would it be different San then the network factors in anything. For what is running on the same host, which would be beneficial for cloning a virtual machine (mainly memory footprint) should not take place on the network.

    I hope this helps!

  • What are the causes of data loss during an update?

    Just what are really the causes of data loss or corruption when you update. Most sites will tell you to back up what I'm doing, but none of them actually appoint a cause to save.

    -Thanks in advance

    Minor updates in an OSX * may * break the file system.  Fully upgrades to other OSX replaces almost all file systems.

    Some backup of people even before you install some software packages, because they know how this package changes directories OSX.

  • Involuntary Explorer that transfer multiple files can not be reversed

    I asked to explore to search for files between 2 dates 2 weeks apart. A large number of folders & files posted correctly. To further reduce the search to a file type, I created a new folder and tried to COPY all found files, so that I could re - search and *.mp4 files only.
    However, it has not copied, but rather began MOVING files to new folder. I cancelled, but not before many files have been moved. I then tried to undo: Ctrl Z - nothing, then CANCEL bar tools change - grayed out and inactive. Or cancel the operation worked.

    So now, I have a very large number of files (1 685) and folders (49) drawn and moved around in my computer D partition, I can't begin to see how to put back in their original locations. The origin of the files has been removed from the file properties and shows that the new folder that was only temporary. I may be able to put most files I had created, but for the rest back! The only good thing is that I assume that there are no Windows system files, or the application files on the D partition.

    I would appreciate advice on how to cancel this disastrous unintended operation.

    Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on Asus N76V

    Hello

    There is no cancellation for this action. You can use Ctrl + Z If you write an e-mail or a document. You can try to use the version option found in the properties of the folder. To do this, please follow the following steps:

    • Click right on the folder.
    • Click on Properties.
    • Click the tab for the versions Previews.

    Just to set your expectations, information is not recipient resolution. You can only restore files once you have a windows backup or restore point.

  • Data transfer between 8300XP and 8.1 of Windows using an external drive of 1TD will be my transfer of files to the new system?

    I have an old Dell 8300 XP for 12 years and just got a HP Pavilion 23. Bought a WD 1TD disk transfer the data from my old computer to my new computer? Also, my old computer has some type of pass protection, when entering data on a disk or diskette that appears to be empty on any other computer. Do I have to remove the password protection before I transfer my data to the external hard drive?

    If your files are encrypted - you have Windows XP Professional, use the EFS file system and the files appear in the Green type when you look in Windows Explorer - then Yes, you have to decrypt (remove them the password) before you transfer the files.

    If you mean that you must enter a password to connect to your XP computer but otherwise have no password protected individual files, so No, mustn't do something for files before transferring them.

    Perhaps you could clarify what you mean by "when entering the data on a drive or a floppy drive he seemed to empty on any other computer."

    If you are unsure if you have XP Pro, made a click right desktop and select "Properties".

    Hello

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products on machines do you have? Be one you have NEVER
    had on them, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    Some of them can cause network problems and sometimes you need to uninstall one instead of just disable
    be able to catch him as the primary cause.

    ---------------------------------------

    Check with your router manufacturer's online help (most have excellent help) and their firmware on your router
    model - also check with their forums for possible known problems.

    ---------------------------------------

    Most of these problems is associated parameters and driver. Be careful with trailing spaces when you enter in the
    data. XXXX and xxxx_ are not the same (where the '_' represents a trailing space which is invisible). The best
    way you ensure to remove the spaces to the right is to enter data and then go back up to the last character. See #5
    below.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Follow these steps for all machines:

    It's my generic instructions for the correct driver updates: (you want mainly to update NETWORK and WiFi card drivers).

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Copying files between hard drives problem

    Hello

    I have problems copying files between hard drives on my computer. I was having this problem on Windows 7 and Windows Vista, but never met him on XP.  It seems that there are several similar topics, but I think I've noticed a few oddities in my own experience...

    I have several drives, between 500 GB ~ 1 TB.  Problems arise when I try to copy a folder with a large number of files (pictures, records about 4 GB in size, typically).  Initially, the transfer rate would be HD burst speed, somewhere between 90 MB to 150 MB.  Speed would be reduced to about 30 MB, or even lower.  The transfer ends by becomes so slow that the operation would take hours to complete.  If I try to cancel, it would take minutes to do.  The computer run slowly for a long period of time, with an offset of intermittent until I have to reboot the system.  This occurs regardless the source and destination drives.

    On some Samsung drives, this problem is actually lead to the corruption of data on the source and destination drives and i/o error messages.  CHKDSK runs at startup, try to solve the problem, but the data would be lost or unreadable disc.  I have since thrown the Samsung WD drives, do not have IO error, but the file copy problem persists.  I also disabled chkdsk at startup for all readers.

    My drivers and Bios are up-to-date.  Computer is free of viruses and malware.  I have no more trouble with Windows 7.  Curiously, if I compress my folders/files in one RAR file, I have no problems copying (transfer rate remains stable at 30 ~ 50MB).  This leads me to believe that this is not a hardware problem, but a problem with the Explorer of solutions, and that respect more particularly with the number of files transferred rather than size.  (But unpacking these files also lead to poor performance sometimes...)

    Is this a known issue that will be corrected?  I really like Win7, but because I work with large number of files and many backups all the time, stability during the file copying is a must.  I have perhaps to go back to XP, or use another OS entirely...

    I had the same problem;

    My system-

    Windows 7 Pro 64
    Core i7 940
    7200 RPM dual 500 GB SATA
    Gigabit ethernet

    Gigabit ethernet switch
    Gigabit router

    Buffalo NAS 1 TB, RAID 0, Gigabit Ethernet

    -----

    I was getting speeds of transfer of a maximum of 500 / 600 KB/s between the hard drive and network storage drive. I went through a number of * fixed * on the web without success, however, I disabled "TCP AutoTuning" and "RSS" rebooted and voila, I now get speeds of transfer of 9-10 MB / s and from the network drive.

    The fix
    It should be noted that, in addition to this, I have updated to the latest updates for Windows and off the DRC in the Windows Options under programs/features.

    How to disable TCP AutoTuning and receive scalability side

    1. Open a prompt with administrator rights.
    2. Type the following commands, and press enter (the second command on RSS is optional):

      netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel = disabled
      netsh interface tcp set global rss = off

    3. Restart the computer.

  • Need help to avoid data loss on a corrupt and/or failure to hard drive

    I don't know what happened. One minute I'm surfing the web and listening to music on iTunes. Then out of nowhere he had a sudden failure. Changed not long at all, but now when I try to turn on my computer, it starts normally but then shortly after that the chime and the apple logo appear, if a progress indicator yet that I've never seen before today. Until the progress bar is still the size of my little finger nail, the computer turns off just. I started in recovery mode and run disk check and repair utility. Make sure the disc is not far off when he said something like - disc cannot be checked completely. Disk needs to be repaired. So when I click on the repair disk, it works only for maybe a minute before it comes up saying - utility disk can't repair the disk. Upwards from your many possible files, reformat the drive and restore your backed up files. So obviously it's not good. What are my options and can I do to avoid losing data that is not already saved? I have a lot of things that have not been backed up and lose some of them would be pretty damning. That's my main goal; data loss as little as possible. My computer is an iMac 2012 end Mavericks 10.9.5 running.

    Thank you.

    You do not have a current backup? If this is not the case, your only real option may be to pay a data recovery company and see if they can help you. Which can be very expensive.
