Registry Backup Beta
Ztruker:
Found a couple problems with Registry Back Beta v0.9.0.
1. The portable versions does not work, has problem with Volume Shadow Copy. Says to check the Help but I can't find any help.
2. The installed version works but does not respect the location I chose to save the backup in. I set it to D:\Registry Backup\ but it saved the backup in C:\Reg_Backup\.
I setup the scheduler to run at boot so I'll try that next and see what happens.

Thanks for letting me know :-)

Where were you running it from? A network drive or just on the system? When you click backup the program will start the vss_start.exe in the files folder. That will then launch the volume shadow copy service. So I am wondering if for some reason the vss_start.exe didnt get started?
I haven't made the help file yet, waiting till out of beta (Maybe, perhaps I can start building it while in beta) :-) I am gathering feedback and any problems reported to help make the help and f.a.q

I just tested and it works for me, can you send me or copy or paste the contents of the settings.ini file in the program folder?

Do me a favor and re download the program and install over the one you have.
It is still the same version. I had a miss spelling that was keeping the schedule task from running properly.
I had the silent command as /silent in the program but in the schedule task I had it \silent
So I made a quick change to the exe and the program now supports "/silent" and "\silent" and "-silent"
I didn't want to make a new version number for such a small change. :wink:
Also the scheduled task runs under the system account. So you wont see it run and it is being ran with the highest privileged. Which means running this way it will have access to all user profiles who have their files protected. So this way it can back up those registry profiles as well :wink:

Shane:
I take back the version number lol
v0.9.1 is out :-)
v0.9.1
Fix bug where when running from the task scheduler it wouldn't grab the user profile locations. This is because the program use to pull the current user profile to get the profile directory. When running from the task scheduler it is ran as the system account which is stored in a different location. This is now fixed.

I have tried Registry Backup and there a few things that I noticed!
I also write things that have been fixed, but didn't work in the first beta release, maybe someone who reads this have had the same problem, so they see what fixed it.
This work now in 0.9.1!!!
The first time I open "Registry backup" there is only 3 "user registry files", then if I Close and open the program again there is 7 "User registry files".
It took about 70 sec to backup for me then I backup manually! Thats just an observation, nothing wrong with that time!
I have tried to do a backup and then restore it and it worked! :cheesy:
These three things are rather unimportant but:
Under "Backup Location" if I have checked "Change backup location" and clicked on the button "Choose folder to store backups" I would like it to start at the latest folder that I have choosen.
Under "Backup Location" again if I have checked "Change backup location" and I have clicked on the text and the text cursor are blinking I also would like to write the backup location and be able to create a folder from there not having to go thru the "Explorer".
In "Check for updates" under settings it says, "Check for program updates at startup", you mean at startup of this program (Registry Backup) not Windows startup (so that you add something to run in the registry)?
If I create a schedule in "scheduling options" and close the option, then I open the "Task scheduler" and change "configure for" from: "Windows server 2003, Windows Xp or Windows 2000" to "Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2", then in Scheduling options under settings in registry backup I tried to click on edit it says: Couldn't find Schedule. Maybe I shouldn't change "configure for" to windows 7?
This work now in 0.9.1!
Backup by using "Task scheduler" doesn't work for me. Then I look in "Process explorer" under taskeng.exe the TweakingRegistryBackup.exe start but it doesn't do anything. I have tried to change options in Task scheduler but nothing helps. I can do a backup manually and "Volume Shadow Copy" works.
This works then I restart the computer!!!
I have noticed when Task schedueler are finished with the backup so I see in Process explorer that the cpu on " TweakingRegistryBackup.exe" are at 25% and vss_start.exe at 0.1% and it doesn't stop.
In "Log_VSS" I see that then I do a backup it deletes all shadow copies:
(Option: Delete all shadow copies)
This will delete all shadow copies in the system. Are you sure? [Y/N]
- Setting the VSS context to: 0xffffffff
- Deleting shadow copy {b312b803-f794-4726-980f-2ddbc21f47a2} on \\?\Volume{ac49bd0f-c993-11e0-a094-806e6f6e6963}\ from provider {b5946137-7b9f-4925-af80-51abd60b20d5} [0x0042000d]...
I have used erunt a few weeks ago when things got wrong in the registry and it worked fine. This program seems to be even better and it looks good and are easy to use. :smiley: :cheesy:
