Hello,
This is a great program. An error problem has recently developed for me which seems to be similar to what others have been seeing. After using the program for a couple of weeks, I have recently started getting backup errors but I can’t seem to pin down why. I attach 2 Log_Backup.txt files from error-free and “error-found” backup runs. I have looked carefully at them but can’t fathom out the reason for the newly-appeared errors. Are they important or would it be safe to use a restore from any backup with these errors? I have a Win 7 professional SP1 64 bit system and my user account has admin rights; TweakingRegistryBackup version is 3.5.3.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

- Open Task Manager (with showing all running processes) and see if there's a process with the name "Backup Failed".
-
No, there isn't any process of this description running.

Further to my original post, would it be safe to use any of my registry backups given the errors I have received regarding the "File in use. Cannot copy." errors ?
-
- Ah, that means that some other program is using that file. But which program ? And perhaps some program forgot to release/"close" that file.
- RB runs with a few minutes delay. Perhaps increasing that delay (think: Task Scheduler) solves the problem.
-
- Perhaps you installed some "System/Driver/disk optimization" software ? That also could/is bound to interfere with/hamper RB.
- I personally think all that "optimizer" software is a bunch of useless software. There're only a very few "optimizer" programs I like. My personal recommendation is install PcWinTech's CLEANMEM.

For your information, I installed and ran your Windows Repair (All in One) program in safe mode (as recommended) and ran the Repairs option 2x (as recommended). I now no longer get the registry backup errors due to "File In use, Cannot copy" errors.
Cheers.

- I think that some program didn't release or didn't properly close those 2 files. and then one gets that error while running RB. Perhaps increasing the delay for RB (think: Task Scheduler) will help to avoid a repeat of this error.

Further to my posted solution (above), the error problem returned ! I hope I have now identified the real cause - 360 Total Security Antivirus, I uninstalled it and no more errors. I think the program was monitoring HDD activity too well. If the error problem returns I will re-post but hopefully that is the end of it.
