AISBackup version number 1.10.2.221 Backup destination media type:- Hard disk Windows Operating system version:- XP 2002 SP2 I have picked up an oddity since (I think) I upgraded to SP2. It's to do with permissions and is in conection with files that I back up from an Apple Mac:- - I have a schedule...

OK - thanks a lot, as ever

Thanks Barry - I'll have a go at renaming using the Manage Backup / Validate Backup option and see what happens. (Is that what you meant? The sentence looks as thought there is something missing).

Just to say that I understand that the file truncation problem is probably down to networking across to the Mac and for me to solve, but are you able to help me with the original problem of AISBackup looking for files called "xxx_144.lfn" on restore, whereas the files are actually named xx...

Huge file size is already 100mb and the mp3 is around 5mb. I am on MAC OSX and that uses Windows File Sharing. As far as I know, that is basically TCP/IP and samba (I forget what the latter is, but can find out in need). I regularly transfer large files to and from the PCs / Mac. However, I have jus...

Yup - the <jobnam>.bdb.lfn files is in both the AISBackup database folder and on the actual backup destination. Yes - they restore OK locally - file is intact No anti-virus on the destination drive, but although this is on an Apple Mac I have no problems in file copying etc. from and to the Mac/PCs....

Sorry for multiple posts, but with regard to the truncation problem, I have discovered that if I restore the file to a local drive and then copy it across the network, the file is fine.

I should have added that I am backing up across a network. I've just tried a test on a slightly older, different backup set, but selected the same file to restore. This one found the backup file it was looking for (a zip file in this case - not sure why the newer one has .lfn as the extension?), but...

I'm running version 1.9.1.208 on XP SP2. When trying to carry out a test restore this morning from new backup, AISBackup reported an error "can't find file xxxxx_144.lfn". When I tried to find it, I discovered that all files were named xxxxx.bdb_144.lfn. I then selected that file. The rest...

Thanks for the repair executable, Barry!

Just to complete the circle for others looking in:- I was unable to follow the work-around route and Barry sent me a repair program that worked some magic on the backup files. All is now well!

> menu option Manage Backup / Undo Backups.

I don't see that option under Manage Backup, Barry. Is there another name for it, or is it "context sensitive"?

I should have said - I'm on 1.9.1.

Thanks

Jim

I am backing up across a network overnight. AISBackup is installed on the "master" PC and gets files from another machine over a small LAN. 1) I got an MS message on the master PC re a delayed write failure 2) I noted that I had run out of space on the drive to which the backup files are s...

Sorry - I just read the thread below this post - I'm downloading the updated version now!

Thanks

Jim

Since upgrading to 1.9.0.206, I have been getting the following error message:- 08:05:46 EXCEPTION Exception: EAccessViolation: Access violation at address 00612482 in module 'AISBACKUP.exe'. Read of address 00000047 08:05:46 EXCEPTION Component: AISDriveInfo1 It occurs each night on my daily backup...

Thanks Barry - I had not realised that the zip format was lossless compression, which really answers my question from all angles!

I think I must have been thinking of the jpeg process - which can degrade an image each time a picture is re-saved.
