Updating FBackup
Posted: Wed Mar 12, 2014 1:23 pm
I have received a notification when going into Fbackup informing me of a new update.
If installed this would take me from Version 4.8 to Version 5.0.396.
Obviously I can see the advantages of updating my version but the last time I attempted updated FBackup on instructions such as these I had problems.
I remember going forward with the update assuming that it would automatically uninstall the previous version and install the new version in its place. The icon on my desktop would be replaced and everything in the garden would be lovely, including being able to continue making my back-ups with and over the existing back ups, but that didn't happen as I remember. I had all sorts of problems which I because it happened sometime ago I can't recall entirely.
What I do remember is that I ended up having to take my computer into a local shop to have it put right at a cost of around £30.00!
If I attempt this upgrade again, what exactly is the procedure?
Will the newly installed version replace the old version and will the backups I have on my external drive be recognised or do I have to go through the whole back up process again?
I'm not touching it until someone gives me an educated answer!
