Post by exterminus »

I am trying to open a rather large backup,

Fbackup asks me for Password for every single file, off which there are over 30.000 in htat backup.

Hi,

In File->Options->Passwords, is the "Store the passwords in the local Windows account" selected?
If not, please select that option, go to Backup Properties, set the password for compressed zip and try again.

Okey,
now it gets really weird,
just tried to do a new backup with just a few pictures, compressed with the same password in order to maybe get the password saved.
When i try to load that backup it asks me for password once, i enter it, then i get the error essage:
Cannot load backup catalog
"file path to the backupfolder\1_C.zip"
RThe compressed catalog could not be extracted


the 1_C.zip is the backup right?
Do i need some software like winrar?

EDIT: even without pw i can not load my created backups. I will reinstall FBackup and try again.
