    Restore from damaged archive files

    Stupid why I never checked my backups, but an SSD was starting to show some worrying symptoms, so I thought I'd make an backup.
    I never checked back on the backup or ever did a verify, God knows why.
    So now the SSD is dead and I want some files back. Restoring gave weird error codes, until I finally took a deeper look and saw many files had 0 bytes (.pvhd, and some _later_ .PXX files). So that leaves still some 60GB of data. Does anyone know how to still get those back? I'm pretty sure the files I need are probably in those successfully backed up files.

    Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately it's not possible to restore from incomplete sets of backup files.
    You might see if it's possible to recover these 0 byte files using specialized data recovery software, then -- hopefully -- restore data from your backup.
