Build78 Win64. I could post the output from NKit if that would help.Hopefully it's fixed in the new version
Johnsanc tested it and it worked giving your scenarios. Did you use wbm build78?

I know there are some Dats available. We have verified that all previous recovery files are still good. New ones have been discovered from new Redump submissions I believeHi, looking forward to using this program when it is released.
I was wondering if DAT files for the channel, update and VC partitions could be made available. I have a bunch of these files from a while ago and would like to verify if they are correct.
But WiiBackupmanager does. It is the only (known) game that WiiBackupmanager can't convert correctly so use WIT for that ( and you already find out yourself that WIT works)
All information to reproduce is in my first post, but since I've done some more testing since then I'll fill that in.Let us know the exact steps to reproduce the issue, the settings used, and if the source was an iso that matched redump.
I tested with a beta version and it restored properly for me. I restored a split wbfs that was only a game partition.

What exactly are you saying WBM does? If you are referring to removing the VC partitions I find that highly unlikely. The size of the file is exactly the same as when it's done with WIT, I am able to extract the partitions from the file, and they match the correct CRCs. Besides, if all that is wrong is that the VC partitions are wrong, NKit should restore them from the extracted backups.But WiiBackupmanager does.

I don't know what exactly WBM does. Fact remain this a known issue with WBM (and your tests confirm it).What exactly are you saying WBM does?

Why try to fix a bad file from WBM with other application (like Nkit etc) while WIT does produce the correct file.
Either fix WBM (but its development has stopped and I don't think its open sourced) or just don't use WBM for that game. Or you can analyze the files from WBM and WIT and see if you can fix the bad file with a stand alone app of your own (again WIT does the job, why bother?)
For me personally it doesn't really matter, but WBM as far as I can tell is the most recommanded tool to manage Wii images and probably the most used. So there will be a lot of those images out there. If the image contains all necessary data to rebuild it to a verifiable image, I see no reason why NKit Restore shouldn't be able to. On the other hand if it is shown that WBM destroys some data, making it impossible, that is another matter.I don't know what exactly WBM does.

Good for you but I just don't get why waste time on bad isos when good ones are readily available. Wouldn't that just enourage people to distirbute bad files on the internet and confuse noobs who don't even know Nkit exists?That's what NKit does recover files to Redump . This file works too. We tested it.
It is known that wbm corrupts the ssbb partition table. Nkit can repair this. Wit and wbm scrubb differently. It should be repairable unless part of a file in the filesystem is missing. Which isn't likely

Redbuilding complete iso from known good compressed dumps is quite different from rebuilding from known bad dumps. Would you keep the bad dump in your archive just because you know you can rebuilt it?
@FMonty - Attached is a custom datfile I made with forcepacking unzip enabled. Set the roms directory to parent directory for your recovery files. This dat file contains two sets "GameCube" and "Wii"
