I run the latest FBACKUP version 4.4 build 218 under windows 7 64 bit system. Everything works fine except the scheduler has intermittent problem. I schedule the backup every night to a home networked hard drive. It worked perfect for a few days (normally 3-5 days) and then just stopped. There is no warning, no message and no job log for the missing days. If I go in and mannually re-start a backup, it will finish succcessfully and the scheduler will then run perfectly for another 3-5 days and stop. This pattern is quite repeatable.
Any idea what is heppening here? Thanks.

Hi,
What is different in the days when FBackup does not run?

Do you know you can monitor your backups remotely with Backup4all Monitor? You can read more here: https://www.backup4all.com/backup4all-monitor.html

absolutely no difference in the computer setting. No change in programs either. I have two laptops that run the FBackup. They all have the off days, but not at the same time.

Hi,
Please send us:

- the .fkc catalog file for that job. You can find the .fkc file if you go to View->Open folder->Destination folder.

- the .log file for the last backup job. To find it, please go to: View->Job Logs->Last Backup Log.

- the schedule task for this job. You can find it if you go to: Start->Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks

- the SchedLgU.Txt file from C:Windows.
Put the files into a zip archive and send them to info[at]fbackup[dot]com
