FBackup Forum

I just accepted a prompt to install a new build and the IPC server error came up after the new installation was done. I deleted Backup5.ini from my Program data \ Softland folder and restarted FBackup5. Windows reconfigured it automatically and the program worked. The problem, therefore, may well be...

You said some time ago that you were working on accessibility improvements and I notice that you have added shortcut codes to the tabs ribbon and to the items on each tab. This is fine if I can see but struggle to move the mouse, as I can use the keyboard to activate many things. The problem arises ...

I had a problem ages ago with the IPC service failing to start, so I added bService.exe to my firewall and normal service was resumed. I am on Windows7 SP1 and FBackup5 was working perfectly well on an earlier v5 build (don't recall the build number - may have been 482). I have just upgraded to v5.2...

I have checked that my antivirus system (MSSE) is not blocking it. I am unsure why the Firewall would need to be touched for something that runs only on my machine, but it does appear that a number of FBackup items do have entries in the allowed list (FBackup itself and the bBackup, bRestore and bTe...

There is no Catalogs folder. Which files do you need? In the AppData\Roaming\Softland\FBackup5 folder there are files called FBackup.ugn, FBackup.hst, and 3 configuration files called FBackup, Ribbon and Layout, along with 4 subfolders: Jobs, Logs, Plugins and Tags. In the ProgramData\Softland folde...

I had 2 backup jobs defined on FBackup4, "Even Months" and "Odd Months". Before running "Odd Months" for the first time, I got a message that FBackup5 is available, so I downloaded it (Build 242) and imported my jobs into FBackup5 from FBackup4. To start with, I ran &qu...

This is on build 242. Part way through a backup task, I get an error message saying the IPC server stopped, do I want to reconnect - it never does. Why does there have to be any connection to your "pipe server" (whatever that is) whilst I am backing up my files to my USB hard disk? I can s...

Please could you give me an update on my request to make FBackup more accessible for blind users? Did you find a way to fix it and is there a schedule for implementation?

<t>Sorry, but this is a different issue from the other one. That was a crash, when FBackup4 stops responding (thanks for saying you will fix it).<br/> This one is because the screen reader cannot see the tree of options.<br/> <br/> This is a problem:<br/> <br/> - on the main screen, where you have m...

<t>Has anyone else tried to use FBackup with a screen reader?<br/> I am using NVDA, to modify the properties of a defined backup job, but cannot find a way to get it to focus on the list of properties in the left hand pane. <br/> It opens the Properties pane as if it is expecting me to enter sometin...
