Partial solution: I solved the main problem of restoring Photo Library by restoring the whole Pictures folder instead of Photo Library file alone. Photolibrary file seems to resore allright.



Investigating the main problem:

Still get error 36 on the same 26GB even restoring whole Pictures folder. Yes, you understood correctly - the Pictures follder restored alright but errormessage still appears. I'm starting to distrust Time Machine.


One more sympthom: Time Machine dispays Photo Library file size 42 GB, while actual size is about 26 GB. The error appears EXACTLY on the 26,6 GB.
