As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TZI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TZI file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.

Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TZI file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TZI file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
