Fbackup 9.4.464 can't do volume shadow copy but version 8 can??

Post by aquarian »

Been a long time Fbackup user and I love the product. I recently got a new computer so I downloaded the newest version to make my daily Outlook.pst file backup. I have noticed that Fbackup 9.4.464 can't do a scheduled backup because it says the file is locked, but if I do it manually within the software, it will do that job properly. I have tried to change the scheduler configuration without success.

On the same computer, I downloaded the version 8 and the scheduled backup works!

On my other computer with 9.4.464, the volume shadow works fine backing up the same Outlook.pst file.

I have emailed you guys the error log file. Thanks.

Please help!

So I downloaded Backup4all 9.4 to test and still got the same error for the scheduled backup. If I run manually, the backup will proceed. At this point only version 8 is able to run scheduled backups on my computer for some reason. Please assist.

Hi,

Please put FBackup 9 in the exceptions list of the antivirus/firewall.
Do you still have the problem?
