Registry Backup Beta
Tomas_Sweden:
I have seen that RB using"fallback backup method" 3 times now and I have only 2 system restore points.

Why did you do that change? what are the advantages?

Before, the old way checked if VSS was running after 20 sec and never checked again. The problem was if VSS crashed after that 20 sec my program just sat there waiting.
So I had to change it to always keep looking and moved it from 20 sec to 60.
The reason it worked better before for you was that after that 20 sec the program waited as long as the VSS needed. Now the new update VSS isnt finished in time before the 60 sec.
Maybe I can tweak it a little better. There are 2 files it is looking for. The vss itself from the program and the vss_pause. The vss on yours is running but the vss_pause (Which runs when the vss is ready) isn't starting before the 60 sec.
I will see if I can tweak that a little and have it keep waiting if the vss is running. After all if the vss crashes the vss wont be running. So perhaps when vss is running it will wait till it isnt or keep waiting until it sees the vss_pause.

OK try this one out for a few days.
Now it will wait forever for the vss_pause as long as the vss exe is running. SO now the timeout shouldnt affect you. If the VSS exe closes or crashes it will see that and then use the fallback method. And since it has this new way of doing it I now have it check for the vss exe every 30 sec instead of every 60 as it is no longer needed to wait that long.
I did some tests and this still works like I want when and if the vss crashes on a system. So try it for a few days and if everything works like we both want then I will put out the update :-)

Any results?

I have tried RB 1.4.3 since wedensday and so far so good :cheesy:
I see that you have changed "Default Backup Name" to "Manual Backup" like that lol!
I had a anti-malware scan and a anti-virus scan to scan the computer at the same time I tried to do a backup, it took 12 minutes to do a backup but it did work! :cheesy:
Very Well done Shane! :wink:
A swedish PC-magazine have written about Registry Backup(1.4.2) again, but they could have waited a week or so, until version 1.4.3 :wink:. But they seem to like it as they wrote about it again!
