Registry Backup Beta
Shane:
The program will use the fallback if the vss fails or times out.
What does the vss log file in the backup folder show?
Shane
Tomas_Sweden:
Here is my log_vss
Tomas
Shane:
That log shows everything is working fine.
When you start the program is the yellow text there saying it will use fallback method? If it isnt and you manually do a backup does it fail and then use fallback?
Right now I have the program wait 60 sec for vss, if it isnt ready by then it goes to fall back. I also noticed from the log that you have 70 shadow copies! I wonder if that might have something to do with it.

This brings me to a consideration.
In my vss log I can't see the number of shadow copies handled by Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider, because I'm using Symantec SymSnap VSS Provider (installed by Norton Ghost).
Maybe it could be useful to report this information also in cases like this.
I suppose that for now I should create a specific cmd file to run as shortcut, because the program itself lacks an option to run a batch script before and after a registry backup.

Yes there is usually a yellow text there saying it is using fallback method!
I also see in the Log_Backup this text:
[2012-09-20 - 16:14:47] Volume Shadow Copy Failed! vss_7_64.exe isn't running. Check the Log_VSS.txt file to view any errors.
[2012-09-20 - 16:14:47] Is vss_start.exe Running: True
[2012-09-20 - 16:14:47] Is vss_7_64.exe Running: True
[2012-09-20 - 16:14:47] Is vss_pause.exe Running: False

And yes sometimes then I do a manual backup it uses the fallback method, but not all the times, sometimes it works at it should.

As I said earlier 1.4.0 worked for me, have you changed when the program goes to fall back method or something in 1.4.1 and 1.4.2?

I have no idea. I let Task Scheduler make a "Instant Restore Point" every morning, but I don't think that have interfered with RB because I had it set to wait 30 minutes.
