Laptop unable to verify encrypted backup
4.5
The "Verify" step of a backup process fails for an encrypted archive.
Symptoms

- Checksum mismatch
- Backup marked as invalid
Possible Causes

Step-by-Step Fix
1
Test RAM
Encryption/Verification is heavy on memory; run a RAM test.
2
Try Different Drive
Save the backup to a different physical drive.
3
Disable Compression
Sometimes combining compression and encryption causes verification errors.
When to See a Technician
If verification fails, do not trust the backup; delete it and try again on a different drive.
