Archiving "damage"

After I've archived files and folders of files to CD/DVD and USB external HD, some
will not open to the original content only lines of 0s and1s. Is this a storage fault
or a known processing reality? I've been told names are too long which breaks the
archiving at a point difficult to find, now data accepted is corrupted.
How can archiving be guaranteed?

You can use a CD-RW or DVD-RW disk or just use a 2gb/4gb pen drive. they are cheap
now days and they work in just about any PC ..

Hi Gordon:
This won't help you now, but it may help somebody
who's just reading this thread because the "long
file names" topic turned up in a search.
I, too, have run into this "long name" problem.
Fortunately, I discovered the problem in the
archive copy before I deleted the original
hard-drive versions.
My rule of thumb is to always check the backup
copy and make sure it will open properly before
deleting the original. In the case of CDs and
DVDs, check the copy IN ANOTHER COMPUTER.
Sometimes disks will open in the drive in which
they were burned, but will not open in another
drive.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help in your case.
Jerry

Once damage that's it the norm,,,,humpy dumpy thing,,
When you archiving files, some can't be moved, system files,read only files,hidden
files,etc.
You can buy software that can pull the good parts out of the files but it's not cheap
,you can also send the HD off and with luck they can get parts back,,,but the norm
is humpy dumpy....
