Update 7.2 causing errors

[Culedood]

Hi

I updated my version of Fbackup to v 7.2 on Friday. Since then I have not been able to perform a normal backup. I keep getting an error: Backup aborted. Reason: 'E:' is not a valid integer value.

I was able to create a new job and run a full mirror copy of my drive, but when I tried to re-run to pick up the last few files that were being used during the backup (and were therefore overlooked), I got the same error. I've tried to attach the log file in various formats, but to no avail, so have copied it below:

I hope this helps you to identify and fix the problem. Looking forward to your new patch.

UPDATE

Having fiddled with the properties of my backup, I've discovered there is a change in the way the software is operating from v 7.2.

Previously
I have a partition on my harddrive, which is the potion that is getting backed up by FBackup - namely the E:/ Drive.
I pointed the destination folder to the root of my portable device and it would create a folder called E/ and then save my Backup within that folder

Toshiba Device
\
E/
\
[Backed up files]

Now
Instead of creating a folder with the name of the drive being copied (namely E/), the name of the Backup Profile is used. Thus, when attempting the backup on Friday after the update to v 7.2, FBackup could not reconcile the old destination with the new one and an error was created.

Toshiba Device
\
Daily Backup April 2018 - this is the name I gave to my new backup profile while trying to figure it out
\
[Backed up files]

Solution
I have created a new back up profile - calling it Daily Backup April 2018 (as mentioned above)
I pointed the destination of the backup to the root of the Toshiba device instead of the E/ subfolder as was previously required
The software created it's own subfolder called "Daily Backup April 2018" and saved the Backup files within that folder.
When I re-run the backup, it no longer gives me the errors from the previous post.

Issues remaining
Two new errors have now cropped up, but these don't seem fatal to the backup:

- Warning: Skipping file E:\System Volume Information\IndexerVolumeGuid
Source error (code 203747548). Cannot find description of this error code. (E:\System Volume Information\IndexerVolumeGuid).
Please check the file permissions

- Warning: Skipping file E:\System Volume Information\WPSettings.dat
Source error (code 203747608). Cannot find description of this error code. (E:\System Volume Information\WPSettings.dat).
Please check the file permissions

Can anyone offer any insight into a solution for these errors? Something about permissions needed?
