Sre there any other FTP based options planned or implemented? e.g. logging more detailed ftp errors in the log indicating stalls/ftp delays or errors, retry/timeout options etc.

And thanks for the beta update.

♠AISBackup Ver 2.2.0.271 Windows Server 2003 SP1 I have a backup job that backups up a local Win2k3 server to a remote FTP site. The backup runs fine, but during ftp uploads it stalls all the time until the timeout ends, then it uploads each backup file/chunk fine. I know there isn't a pro...

Just to confirm, the email log option doesn't appear to work when run as an unattended job, although works fine when run interactively. A completion email is sent as it did before the new attach log option, perhaps the original email option overrides the new option?

Thanks. TJ

You are a genuis Barry! It works a treat :-) The only thing that I observed is when AISBackup hits the "Backup Contents File" and Preparing Registry Hives stages, it appeared it was able to break the throttling rules (flatlining my cpu again). Aside for that, it stayed within my set bounds...

I currently have it set to a low setting, I doa full backup everynight and also am using your ftp as you go feature. I currently only have a few test sites on my machine, all I can say is often (not always) and depending on when my monitoring apps check poll the machine (i.e. a cpu, memory usage and...

As there is no way to throttle how much CPU AISBackup consumes, and the priority doesn't really help on relatively inactive machines or servers. e.g. If a backup kicks off on a machine with a web server (even set to run at low priority), the backup will peg the processor so that the web server can’t...

you always continue to amazing me - you apparently are perpetually online. You may want to consider having a "always backup register" check box anyway (not allowing any in advertant deselection of the required files in the selection list) - just as an idiot proofing measure. It would remov...

You can backup the registry using the tools menu, but is there a way (or a check box somewhere) within a job defination to backup the registry? Seems to me it would be handy (unless it has to lock the reg. or otherwise kills the box while the reg. is being dumped)... Also (as I posted in the feature...

I have scheduled my install to email me confirmation of my backup job and it's summary information each night - is there (or could there be) an option to check off that would include the log file of the backup job as an attachment to the status email? It would come in handy when troubleshooting or c...

I was thinking more of an executive project manager role - I think I have enough on my plate at the moment though, thanks for the offer

Blinding! Thanks for the update, at this rate, I'll be part of your development team before the end of the year!

Would the test phase lend itself to have a new "quick test" option in addition to the regular test, so that a local backup file can be tested before an on-the-fly upload takes place? Sorry to keep asking for things, it seems all i do is take, take, take, but I think these are all good sugg...

Barry, you continue to amaze... Thanks..

The Pre-Job processing works a treat :D - thanks for the quick response. A couple of quick questions though... 1. Can the pre & post jobs be defined as part of the regular job defination? This way you are able to run defined jobs from a shortcut and still have them complete correctly (i.e. to du...

Adding a pre-run option would be good as stopping and starting the MS SQL service isn't really an option, running an osql command to dump selected databases to a file is less invasive. Good idea to add the service control into the product though - i'm sure i'll find a use for it ;-)... The pre-run c...
