Barry, It took a while but last friday I bought a QNAP TS-109 Pro II NAS server. At this moment I moved most of the idle data to the shares. Using AISBackup I noticed the following errors/behaviour: Situation: NAS (source) and PC (backup target) on Gbit LAN with MTU 1500. 1) backup failed because fo...

Barry,

Isn't it the time to run AISBAckup as an automatic service (logon as local system) controlled by a GUI in the same way as Diskeeper, Acronis, etc does? On the long run it probably could make things easier.

Barry, I could see that you were testing on Sunday because I got all the output mailed. I tested 3.14 on Vista x64 and the problem looks solved. With the backup drive disconnected all the jobs results in 0x0 and the following output: AISBackup job: Backup xxx Files Backup completed with errors (Exte...

Barry, Solves this option the problem: Run as an administrator : This option was introduced for Windows Vista and sets the backup job so that it runs in administrator mode. This option is not required if the NTFS security settings are been backed up because security settings must be backed up by an ...

Barry,

The jobs are scheduled for each half hour from 18:00h until 22:00h. The jobs run well when the drive is connected. I send you this evening the .buz files.

Barry,

Running in UAC mode, how do I schedule jobs in Administrator mode? The jobs will not start (not enough authorization).

Barry, The task scheduler under Vista is a complete new design. Therefor I think that XP is not usable for testing. I get the following e-mail (only one) after a long period: (although there are 8 schedules) AISBackup job: Backup Installation Files Backup completed successfully 20:00:03 SSTART Backu...

Barry,

The "Quietly abort if media not loaded (but only when scheduled)" option does not result in a termination of the scheduled job. A manual end is necessary.

I use a external drive which is not allways up. At that time the schedules may be bypassed.

With regards,

Barry,

All do VSS is enabled, it seems thats it is not working. I found out that
32 bit requestors won't work with 64 bit VSS services.

What is your experience?

With regards,

Barry,

Because I had to go on, I decided to try a full restore of Vista from a Windows XP installation. I was a little bit surprised but very happy that the restore was 100% successfull. You delivered a great job.

During so many years AISBackup never let me off.

With regards,

Barry, I use version 2.4 (303) and defining schedules with the Vista Task Scheduler goes well. The tasks run under a special backup user with password. When configured for Vista the task starts and is active but nothing happens. Configured for Windows 2003, XP or 2000 everything works well. Bart Kam...

Baryy, The username/password error also occures consequently within several Windows XP Professional SP2 (UK or NL) installations. It never succeeds. I think that this problem is related to ASBackup. My configuration is: Version of Windows Vista: Ultimate (allmost clean installation) Is UAC active? Y...

Barry, I've got a problem with the XML task under Vista and therefor I like to restore a previous level. What is the best way to do that? Normally I do this from a multi-boot installation. But I see several problems to restore Vista from a XP partition. What do I do with the virtual folders for inst...

Barry, Implementing AISBackup on Windows Vista went well. Except defining jobs by the Windows Task Scheduler results in the following errors: 1) defining jobs via AISBackup self results in "invalid username and password". No task visual added to the Windows Task Scheduler; 2) defining jobs...

Basicly all the job characteristics displayed in the job tab view. On the long run it could replace the job tab view completly. Title change "All Jobs" into "Jobs". Is there a way to simply refresh the display information? Now I have to close and open AISBackup. Maybe a suggestio...
