This error can occur for one of the following reasons:
- One or more selected files has been compressed or compacted,
using WinZip or another compression application.
- The selected file has recently been rebuilt due to software
upgrade or other means.
- The selected file is being automatically compressed by the
original application when it reaches a certain size, depending on
the type of file selected.
- The selected file of files were not given enough time to
complete.
When new data is added to a file, the software application
usually places the new data at the end of the file. . When the file
is compressed, compacted or rebuilt, the file structure is
distinctly modified. . Online Backup expects the changes/additions to
be stored at the end of the file and when the application
identifies that the file has been drastically modified during the
compression process, it must re-scan the file byte-by-byte instead
of only looking for changes appended to the end of the file.
This byte-by-byte scan can take some time depending on the
nature of the changes and the size of the file, and is most
commonly seen with database applications such as Microsoft
Outlook(R), QuickBooks, Quicken, Microsoft
Access(R), etc.
