Backup Express do not take spaced foldernames

[FredeFup]

Problem/error seen in PA v. 9.00.33….Backup Express running on XP-Home SP1/(2)

Setting up a PBS to backup two folders i.e. “c:\Documents and settings\Folder1” and “c:\Documents and settings\Folder2” does not result in any archive-file (both folders contain several files and sub-folders) :confused: .

By adding one more folder to the backup-list - named without any spaces i.e. “c:\Folder3” - the problem/error does not occur and ALL expected files from …\Folder1, …\Folder2 & Folder3 are added to the archive :D

(Settings: include subfolders & store relative folder)

Using a dummy-folder & -file makes it work for me - but -…please, corrigate in new versions

Works for me !?

Win2k - PA 09.00.34 test.

If you want to check - link to the test version is in thread :-

If there is still a problem, rename the pbs file to txt and attach it (as I did here).

Inspired by TBGBe’s PBS-file, I have tried using BH in stead of ZIP as archive-format and that makes the difference between :) (BH) and :mad: (ZIP).

Both of the attached PBS-files works with BH and only one with ZIP (PA v. 9.00.34)

Interesting.
Tried again (now on Win98 though so may be different) - Zip fails IF the option “Add timestamp to backup” is selected.
Turn this option off and I think the pbs works.

Nice.

thanks for the info!

[FredeFup]

Zip still don’t work on XP-Home/SP1(2) :(

[TBGBe]

OK - Now back on Win2k

Here it appears that the “problem” occurs with the Store Relative Folder setting
Active - Fails
Not Active - Succeeds

(TimeStamp setting does NOT matter) ?!

Maybe there is also a Op Sys difference?

Both (Win 2k) pbs in attachment.

I have tried without activating “Store relative folder” - and IT WORKS (= as seen on Win2K) :)

adding timestamp does’nt matter on XP either (= as seen on Win2K) :)

=> Problem only occur with the combination of “path with spaces” & “Store relative folder” & “archive to ZIP” & running on Win2K or XP (Winver. 5)

PA 9.00.34

The issue will be fixed in next release!

Hi,

please check it with 9.00.35 release:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/powarc90035.exe

And make sure you test it a bit so there are no other issues.

thanks,

Checked 9.00.35 on Win98.

Using Zip_NOT_OK.pbs as supplied by FredeFup (just changed C: to D: ) :D
PBS now works with both “Add timestamp to backup” and “Store Relative Folder” Active.
