Volume shadow Copy and Reg backup
whiggs:
Ok, so I I have never gotten this to work, EVER, but haven't really minded it because it still works with the simple copy method. Now I am having to restart my computer simply to unlock a user registry file, so now seems as good a time as any to ask why, even when I specifically go into my "services" and manually run every single service that has the words "volume shadow" in it, why will regbackup absolutely refuse to use the method that utilizes volume shadow services? Is the text that is shown on the registry back up window not accurate? Does the application just not like me? ?

I've never had any problems using the registry backup from within the Windows Repair program, but never use the restore points one.
Do you have System Protection enabled and is adequate space allocated for the restore points.
My Win 10 defaults to 2% but I slide that to 3% on a 640GB HDD and that allows up to ~17GB.

Ok. Let me clarify the issue. Its not that the application doesn't work at all. The attached picture shows the issue that I am having. The difference between the two being that (supposedly) when using the volume shadow copy service, you can copy files even if they are locked (because they are in use or other reason). However, since the volume shadow service method refuses to work, here is the line out of the log file for that particular backup attempt:
[1/28/2017 - 11:47:40 AM] Backing Up File: C:\Users\Administrator\ntuser.dat
[1/28/2017 - 11:47:40 AM] Result: Failed - Error: -1 (API Reg Save Failed (), Tried File Copy, File In use, Cannot copy.)
Thus, I am still trying to figure out how to get the volume shadow copy method to work correctly. For more information, look under the FAQ for Registry backup under "What advantages are there versus ERUNT?"

Nobody? Nothing?? I am disappointed

- Are you able to create System Restore Points ? Because this use the "Volume Shadow Copy" as well.
- Dd you already run the Tweaking Windows Repair program ?
