Registry Backup Beta
Shane:
Tomas_Sweden I found that I had the vss timeout to short. I have increased it and I want to work on a few other things before I release this. I will have another build ready tonight or tomorrow :wink:

My RB auto backup didn't run this morning when I started my machine. When I started RB manually I got a message that RB didn't close down properly and should I use the fallback method which I chose.
Is this the same problem that Tomas_Sweden reported? If so, is a new beta going to be released soon?
Thanks.
Tomas_Sweden:
I have noticed on my brothers computer "win xp sp3" that making autobackup with Registry Backup v1.4.1 have worked! :smiley: Without any VSS problem. I think that VSS works faster on Win xp. I haven't seen any error either with autobackup like I have explain earlier, but its to early to say if the that problem is gone, but so far so good.

I have finally had the program not close like what is happening randomly to you guys.
I started my computer and the reg backup was open said it was waiting for the VSS service. But it never moved past it.
I said to myself, what the crap, why isn't it timing out and moving forward? SO I check the log and VSS had froze
ERROR: Selected writer 'System Writer' is in failed state!
- Status: 9 (VSS_WS_FAILED_AT_FREEZE)
- Writer Failure code: 0x800423f2 (VSS_E_WRITERERROR_TIMEOUT)
- Writer ID: {e8132975-6f93-4464-a53e-1050253ae220}
- Instance ID: {d9768a71-5bcc-4245-9d3a-69ec82a64cb3}
SO my program should have seen the VSS failed and moved on. But it didn't. What had happened was VSS was to a point where the program thought it was running and so didnt check again. And so the program never finishes or closes.
So in the last update I tried some new things to watch the VSS and the timeout was to short. So I have changed that. And I am still working on a few things to improve it. I cant get my VSS to crash again since it is a rare bug in VSS and I cant control it. I wish I could, be perfect to help me test this.
streetwolf, can you see if there is any log file from the program from when it says it didnt close properly. Do you have it running under the system account so you cant see it running? Or do you not have it running from the task manger? How ever you have it running can you have it run so you can see the GUI for now. I want to see if it is not moving forward like it did on mine.
So far this has only happened once on my system and was at the fault of the VSS. But my program should have still moved forward and not stayed there. SO I am working on that right now.

Since I got the error this morning RB always says it is using the Fallback method when I run it manually. My auto backup when I first turn on my machine is the once a day backup thing you added recently. My UAC is Administrator, which doesn't seem to carry the same weight it did under W7. I run the auto backup under my account and RB runs hidden.
Here's what's in Log_Backup.txt:
