Frequent Registry Backup crashes

<< < (3/4) > >>

Shane:
OK I have a test exe for you.

I was able to cut the size of the program in half. I had a lot of code in there to handle png files. I changed the pngs to jpgs since the background color doesnt change. This allowed me to get rid of a lot of code, including some sub classes that can cause crashes if not closed right. This shrank the program from 1.6 MB to 1.2MB, I also recompiled the program as P-Code instead of the standard way, this cut down the size to 864 KB :-)

So replace your exe with this one and let me know how it goes and if the crashes still happen.

I have the EXE in place and will get back to you. Thanks!

BTW I have it set to save 365 days of backups and "Only do 1 auto backup per day" is disabled.

Shane:
Great let me know if it has better luck, if it does I will release it.

Also that is a lot of backups! Normal registry backup size is around 128 MB. 365 days worth of back ups (If only 1 per day) is 45 GB of space lol

Normally a week is good. Think about it, all the Windows updates, drivers and things you do to the system, and if you go and restore a very old backup of the registry you will just end up causing the system to crash. :wink:

I'm aware. This Win8 system was brand new to me when I first started using your application, and I wanted to quickly set it up without overthinking it and without deleting things I may want. Also, old registry backups can be handy to restore not entire hives, but for mounting (in a utility such as Registry Workshop) and viewing/restoring individual keys/values/data.

I'll get back to you!

Well, I have good news for once. No more crashes!  :cheesy:

At least, I have not had any since 6/4 6/3 at 4:10 PM, and that was with the previous (release) version, 1.6.0.0.

I've had 9 backups take place with 1.6.0.1 without any crashes. Previously, it was typically crashing several times a day. I wouldn't yet swear that the problem is resolved on my system, but it's looking good.

Thank you!
