if it crashed during backup, the backup file is likely corrupt.
Anyway try the following:
Missing messages may have been deleted, not completely lost.
Select Inbox folder (or the folder messages were in), then click Folder menu / Browse deleted messages.
If you see the messages they can be restored.

If the above doesn't work (because you compressed folders, or for another reason),
install theBat on another computer / virtual machine, and try restoring the backup there.
In case of success export/import missing messages, or just move the message base files (MESSAGES.TBB).

To avoid problems like this, I don't use theBat itself to make backups.
It's a much more reliable backup method to just zip or rar the entire mail folder, or desired parts of it. In case of a mess you can easily restore individual folders, only settings, everything together etc.

I had a backup crash halfway through and then later that morning Bat said a folder was corrupt.  I lost the most recent 20 days of messages in the inbox.

When I try to do a restore from the incomplete TBK file Bat just hangs.  I let it run overnight and it was still hung up in the morning so I don't think it's just a matter of letting it run.

Any suggestions on finding data in an incomplete TBK file?

I'm running 4.2.36.4.

Thanks - Kevin
