I can't get Quarterback to backup to floppy with turning verify write off.
It just gives me the error "Verify failure on df0:"
What am I doing wrong?
Erron,
What is the version number on the Quarterback that you are using? Make sure
that you have applied all applicable patches that are in our library in this
section.

Randy,
I've just installed 5.0.4
Still get the same error messages.
Erron,
Please give me a complete discription of your configuration, Processor, Dos
Version, Type of drives etc. Also check your WB Startup and User Startup for
any utilities that patch into trackdisk. I have tried several times to
duplicate the conditions you describe but have not had any failures during
backups.
That being said I have to state that verify off is not my personal favorite as
far as backup options go. To me it is like saying "I don't care if I back this
up or not!" While most of the time media performs flawlessly, yesterdays
perfect disk may fail today for no apparant reason.

Randy,
Follwing your advice, I tracked fdown the culprit – a program called
HyperCache, which has proved pretty much useless to me anyway, as I have
an accelerated machine. I have removed it and suffer the problem no more.
Many thanks,
Erron
