Registry Backup Beta
Ztruker:
Yes, I also have UAC turned off.
This is going to be a large post sorry, but I will include the Log_VSS.txt and Log_Backup.txt files. The Log_VSS.txt concerns me. I hope it is not doing what it says it's doing and actually deleting all shadow copies in the system. ShadowExplorer shows my shadow copy data is still there so this must mean only the Registry Backup data, right?????
Here are the log files. Note that 11:44PM is when I shut down last night so that's when everything magically appeared. All the files must have still been open so were not visible. Might want to explicitly close them when the backup is done.

One change I would strongly suggest is to time stamp each log entry so you know how long it's taking to do things.
I'll try 0.9.3 and run under my account, see what happens.

Installed 0.9.3 and it says it failed.

Shane:
That shows that every worked like it should :-)
But as both of you have mentioned the program deletes old snap shots before it runs. I did this to remove any snap shots it might have made but didn't close. But I just realized this isnt a good idea.
What if another program is running at the same time that is using a snap shot of its own? Like another backup program?
I cant have it removing the snap shot now can I? :wink:
So I removed it from deleting old snap shots.
So same version, just re download it and install over your current one. You will see the vss_start.exe has a date modified of today.
Shane
Shane:
Ztruker,
The new quick update will no longer delete old snap shots so grab it.
I will work on adding times to the log files. Also right now I have the log files get over written. I am wondering if I should have the log files save with the backups, this way a log of each backup can be kept, what do you think?
Also the errors you showed. The log shows that the snap shot got created but the copy failed for some reason and it isnt showing the error why.
I will see if I can improve the error reporting so we can see why it didnt copy the files over.
When both of these are done I will put v0.9.4 out :wink:
Shane
Ztruker:
Thanks Shane. I like the idea of keeping the log files with the snapshot.
Edit: I just checked and nothing under D:\Registry Backup\DELL-P370\5.20.2012_1.55.04-PM\C was created, neither under Users or Windows. The folder structure is there but no data.
Edit #2: I ran the above under my account. Just tried it under System and get the same failure.
