Sorry just realised that log though set on initially, was turned off after a crash meant I had to re-enter settings.

Maybe during Betas it would be a good idea to have logging on by default?

Have now switched it on.

This problem appears to be occurring consistently, which may make further testing difficult. Appended dginfo for second occurrance, with logging on.

Problem: Backup failed with code 177. After this error occurs, it happens on each backup until you reboot. Suggesting maybe file handles are staying open?

I’ll stop testing and await feedback as I am experiencing lots of problems, and I guess I need feedback on whether the driver incompatibility, or the VSS error is causing some of them. If so maybe there is a problem with VSS or backup drivers on my machine, though other backup processes (Win7 backup, SQL server backup) work OK.

I note that the VSS errors are occurring at about the same time as I am testing CB, but that’s not conclusive of course.

Best wishes

RE VSS error. Just found that VSS service was not running though set to automatic. Had recently rebooted and had not stopped it, on rebooting again it started fine, so maybe some program, maybe CBU, had stopped it?

  1. On a scheduled Track 0 & MBR and Drive C backup, I have some oriental characters showing in the manage window. (see attached.)

  2. When trying to run (instant sync) synchronise backups manually, I get “This backup can not be run yet” messages.

  • Windows 8 Pro 64-bit

  • COMODO Internet Security 5.12

  • Backup of a folder (E:, an external drive) to another external drive (F:), USB 3.0 connection for both drives, error after a couple of minutes

  • I tried to backup E:\ as a folder and I tried to backup it as a partition, same error

  • Error screenshot: http://i46.tinypic.com/2dsw0k.jpg

  • I’m not sure if I can send the .cbu log as my computer contains sensitive informations (the filename of the files that I tried to backup is sensitive too, the computer name is sensitive too)

  • I also had this issue with the previous stable version, drives are healthy

Hi

The issue will be fixed in next release.

Thanks

Hi Mouse,

CB already has debug logging enabled, by default.
Or do you mean logging to file in Backup step 3?

CB doesn’t stop VSS service. CB needs it to perform backup of files that are locked.
We need the debug logs and dumps to analyze all the problems above.
I tried to use the mods username and password, but I get the error in the attached screenshot.
You can try to place them in CCloud and then PM me the download link after you share the files.

Thank you for detailed bug reports.
