2 .- When restoring from the Rescue Disk and after rebooting, CBU did not kick in as expected. This resulted in the restore operation not running.

c

What do you mean by this? How was CBU supposed to ‘kick in’?

Thanks

Normally when CBU does a Disk restore, the restore is scheduled to run at the next restart, but when using the rescue disk, it did not, despite saying it would.

I will give this another go tomorrow on another machine just to confirm.

c

Oh, it shouldn’t have required a restart. :slight_smile: This is the purpose of the rescue media.
Did you have and file/folder opened/in use on any drive of the disk to be restored?
Please make sure no files/folders on that disk are opened/in use.

Thanks

Surely, there should not be any files/folders open when running the rescue CD? I will double check tomorrow when I will try again.

c

OK, had another go earlier today, and all went well. I think i must of selected the wrong location for the restore.

Yes, it was needed. It helped us find the cause and fix it.
The fix will be available in next BETA.

Thanks

Other Backup & Security Software Installed

How you produced the problem
Trying to perform a new copy of a personal profile backup stored in shortcuts, fails.
I set a password to my cbu files and now when I try to perform a copy of that backup profile, it prompts me for requesting encryption password for backup. Even if I set the right password, CB displays Encription password provided is invalid.
If I try to restore the backup and I enter the password, everything works fine so the file and the password are OK.

How you tried to resolve the problem;
N/A
Any other Additional Information (for example, any non-default settings used);
All my backup files are password encrypted

Hello,

When I installed this new version it ■■■■■■■ up everything.
All my previous Backups were deleted on the backup drive (Full and incrementals) !!!
All my custom profiles deleted as well !!!
Moreover,now it is impossible to browse a folder to exclude some files from backup.
So when you select a folder for backup you must backup everything in the folder,including “temp” subfolders ,cookies, etc…

Should I come back to the previous version?

You mean that the cbu files were deleted from the backup drive immediatly after installing this version?
Did you run any backup job after install, before observing that files are deleted?

What version of CB did you have before this?

You can use exclusion filters to exclude folders by their name.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes I did a system backup.
I had 4.0.7 version previously.
Actually,my previous Backups were not erased,but all my custom profiles have disappeared.
Using exclusion filters to remove folders and subfolders from the backup is a very tedious solution.
In the previous version You could browse the folders tree and uncheck the ones you didn’t want to backup.
