Registry Backup Beta
Shane:
It wont hurt anything. They will just make new snap shots when they need them. They do it already.
Otherwise the data in the snap shot becomes old :wink:
As you remember my program was deleting them before and caused no problems.
Try it out and let me know if clearing those works.
If it does I have to find out why it is passing the wrong info in the script. :wink:

Shane:
And to help see what is showing on B: at the time I will add
"dir b:" to the logs. This will list the files on the root of B:.
This way if it is pointing to the wrong snap shot we will then see what it is pointing to :-)

Same problem after deleting shadows on all volumes, C: D: and E:.

Shane:
Post the vss log for me. I need to see if it is still pointing to the wrong snap shot.
You can also do this, which the program will on the next update.
When you do a backup do not close the program yet, leave it open so the snap shot stays open.
Open a cmd window and put in
dir B:
That will list the files on B:
What does it pull up?

The weird part is this works fine when it's run automatically at boot time.
