i guess you cant use dvd9 blanks to record the backup onto?
firstly, the winrar issue, i have seen before, so if you can answer the following i can help further

1. are you unraring the rars from hard disk, or a backup burned to dvd? (if its the backup burned, try unraring from the hard disk sets, see if the same error happens)..
2. usually decompression errors can be caused by a few things, the most obvious is bad/overclocked memory, so have you overclocked your system?
3. have you tried unraring on another pc, just to see if its your pc that is at fault, or the rar set..
4. try playing with the compression options in winrar... does the problem persist?

*edit* i just saw your sig, you state the pc is overclocked, try making it normal clocked.. overclocking is very very misunderstood...
overclocking can play hell with compression/decompression.... and do you really gain *that* much performance from a few measily mhz?
