2. If the backup image is stored on a NAS or removable devices, the connection may be broken while reading the image file. To fix this, you can copy the image file to a local disk.

3. If the backup image is stored on a local disk, it indicates that some programs may have prevented Backupper from reading the image file. In this case, you can close these programs and try again. If you can not find the programs, you can make a bootable media to retry.
