Hi Barry

Excellent news, sounds like the perfect solution. I shall take out the AT command now and go back to setting up the task manually as that feels a better way of doing it. Looking forward to the next version having this included as standard.

Good work.

All the best

Jon

Hi Barry Thought I'd just post my results to trying out what you suggested. If I create a shortcut and use the properties from that to create a scheduled task it works perfectly. But not satisfied with that way of doing it, I've followed the instructions you left regarding the registry and this too ...

Hi Barry Sorted it. A slightly roundabout way of getting it to work but it seems to work fine now. I created a shortcut using the feature in AISBackup and looked at the properties of the shortcut to manually add a Scheduled Task and set it to only run while logged in. As I always am it's running fin...

Hi again Barry Sorry I've not emailed you yet the log but I've created a shortcut onto my desktop and it seems to be running perfectly. It takes about 20 mins to do it's stuff so once it's finished I'll try and run the shortcut via a Scheduled Task and will let you know how it goes. Looks promising ...

Hi Barry I'll post you the Task Scheduler log in a moment but I think you may be onto something as my PC is not password protected at all. That just winds me up having to enter it every time so I don't! Will I need to create a password then? It's not the end of the world if I do I guess... I'll emai...

Hi again Barry

It is using the same user. I don't have other users set up. I've sent you a bug report attaching all the relevant file. Hope this helps.

All the best and thanks again,

Jon

Hi Barry

Thanks for your reply. This is what I have selected and although it works doing it manually, a scheduled task still doesn't.

I'll keep trying.

Cheers

Hi Barry I'm about to buy another license for this great software as I'm now backing up my home PC (at last!). I've installed the latest version and am in the 30-days trial period. Everything works perfectly writing to DVD-RAM when I run it manually but a scheduled backup gives this error in the log...

Thanks Barry.

So if I hadn't put them into the excludes list it would have attempted them again tonight, and the next night, etc. and reported the errors each time? This is how I understand it to work.

Just after your confirmation really.

Thanks again

Jon

Hi Barry I've entered those exclusions and the files list now has crosses next to those files so it's looking perfect. Presumerably when the backup is next run (tonight) it will attempt those files again if they weren't now excluded? So if they are not backed up then I should get a successful report...

Excellent, I'll give it a try now. I did have a thought about multiple wildcards but figured it wasn't possible.

I'll get back to you with the results.

Cheers again

Jon

Hi Barry You're absolutely right about the price. We're likely to be purchasing more licenses once we have our backup methods decided upon so that will help bring it more in line. But even so, as I don't want these files backed up, paying that kind of money just to enable to be backed up doesn't mak...

Hi again Barry I've just had a look at File Access Manager and their Server License is $300! Considering I don't actually want to backup these files it seems a rather expensive solution. Would adding the feature to AIS Backup to exclude all these be feasible? In the meantime, if I just ignore these ...

Thanks Barry. I was just typing that I'd managed to find much the same answers through Google searching when you replied! I would basically like to not backup these files then. There is obviously a site on the server which is now using the .net framework (must be the first one that is) which is why ...

Hi there We've been using your excellent software for a Windows 2003 Web server for about 9 months without a hitch. Last night's backup has suddenly shown 3 files that errored. Can you shed any light on this for me? 03:11:02 ERR Failed to backup: C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Application Da...
