RB fired up this morning and got the error message.  Also, it did not delete my oldest files as Tomas_Sweden mentioned. 

I ran the task manually from the task scheduler 3 times.  The first one got the error, the next two were clean.

FWIW, I've never gotten the error when I run RB via it's GUI.  I only get the error, intermittently, when I run it through the Task Scheduler.

52
But it's the Mayan timezone which is CST.

53
Will do.  If you don't hear from me then the Mayans were right.  :rolleyes:

54
Keeping a minimum number of backups is a great idea.  I've run into this situation a few times where my backups were deleted because I was out of town.  Nice addition.

55
What does the 'Keep n Backups' do in conjunction with the 'Delete backups that are n Days or older' setting?  I'm not clear on this.

I ran one test and I had no error.  Not really any indication since RB would work at times.  When I fire up my machine tomorrow it will make a new backup and delete backups older than 7 days.  We'll see what happens but I think it might take awhile before we can confirm it is fixed unless I get an error then we know it isn't.

56
One thing I don't understand about the error.  I've had the error restarting my machine after I already took my first and only auto backup of the day.  I realize the task get's fired off everytime I log on but why after RB sees that I already ran my auto backup would it try to erase old files?

57
Yes I do have it setup to remove old backups.  I'll turn it off and get back to you with my findings.

58
Thinking that maybe by unchecking run at highest privileges for the RB task in the task scheduler might fix the problem it didn't.  RB didn't backup this morning and the message in Event Log clearly stated I needed elevated privileges.  So I checked the box, saved the task, and ran it manually.  It ran perfect.  You are right about it being intermittent.

If you can code some sort of debug routine in RB to see what's happening I'll gladly try it out. I could also run Process Monitor and see what that produces when the task get's the error.  Let me know.

59
Sorry to say the error came back this morning.  As usual the backup was taken successfully. I also got the error message when I had to reboot my machine.  No backup was taken as I use the once a day auto option.

60
I might have discovered the cause of my error.  I had the main program run as Administrator under the Compatibility tab.  I removed that and when my backup kicked off this morning after turning on my machine I didn't get any error at all.  Fingers crossed.

61
Yes, the Manifest file is in the folder with the program.  Since UEFI requires the volume to be GPT perhaps GPT is the problem.  I also hesitated going UEFI as a full install of W8 is required along with everything else but I wanted to take advantage of UEFI which so far I haven't seen any.

For some reason the shortcut I placed in my startup folder didn't start up when Windows loaded in the morning for the first time.  I then manually ran it and got the error message and Event Log error.  Seems marking the shortcut as Admin doesn't always work for some reason.

62
If my memory serves me correctly I recall that after I switched over to UEFI I ran a manual backup and that also failed with some kind of error.  That is what led me to make the shortcut run as Admin.

63
I also setup the shortcut to run as Administrator under the Advanced tab and that also worked fine.  I think I'll just add it to my startup folder and see what happens when I start my machine tomorrow.

The reason a manual run works might be because I also have that shortcut setup to run as Admin.


64
I created a shortcut, which btw, I use /supersilent.  I got the error message as well as the Event Log entry.

I then ran the shortcut as Administrator and it worked perfectly, no error message or Event Log error.

I did setup the job in the scheduler to run under the SYSTEM account but that didn't work either.  Maybe I need to run it under something else?

65
I ran it from the Task Scheduler and didn't get the error message this time.  However, I got the same error in my Event Log.  Why no error message this time is anyone's guess.

66
Happens only at auto startup, never manually.  I run both under my account which has Admin privileges.  I also have added a delay of 4 minutes to the startup task so that my disk image program, which also uses VSS, has time to complete first at startup.  I've always done this with no problems until I went UEFI.

I've attached two log files for you to look at.

67
After I did a clean install of Windows 8 Pro X64 under a UEFI environment and formatting my boot/system drive as GPT I always get a message after RB runs as an auto backup, when I first start up my machine, stating that an error was encountered.  Examining my backup folder it appears everything was backed up. I do not get any error message if I run RB manually.  Prior to converting to UEFI I had no problems.

Here's what I have in the Event Log:

My auto backup also ran fine this morning.  However, as I mentioned I now delay it in order to give my disk imaging software time to finish.

Works fine taking a manual backup.  Let's see what my auto backup does tomorrow.  btw, I delayed my RB backup 5 minutes in order for my disk imaging software to complete.

Shane:

My auto backup this morning seems to work OK but I think it took the fallback method again (?).  As I said before RB is run at the same time as my disk imaging software and takes much longer to run presumably because both use VSS.  I think I will run RB as a command when my imaging software finished it's backups.  My imaging software let's me do this.  Is it just a matter of using the command line in the task scheduler and plugging it into my imaging software and then deleting the task? Doing it this way should avoid any VSS conflicts if this is a problem.

Here's a couple of logs from my start up this morning

Missed that.  Unchecked it and now it uses VSS.

Do you think because my imaging program is running at the same time as RB this might be causing the problem with using the fallback method? I've delayed RB for 30 seconds at start up in Task Scheduler.  There is no easy way to delay my image program.  It uses it's own scheduling system and there is no delay option.

Shane...

Since I got the error this morning RB always says it is using the Fallback method when I run it manually.  My auto backup when I first turn on my machine is the once a day backup thing you added recently.  My UAC is Administrator, which doesn't seem to carry the same weight it did under W7.  I run the auto backup under my account and RB runs hidden.

Here's what's in Log_Backup.txt:
