Thanks for the great support!!

:-)

However we can leave an timer - that will work? Auto disable/ok after 10 minutes for example?

One problem is that the task is not running in scheduler which is for sure a scheduler thing. Other tasks in scheduler do run perfectly on the same machine, so I thought it is maybe a small bug in writing fom PA to the scheduler in Win 2003.
Now behaviour is even stranger. The scheduled backup is stated running in the scheduler but no PA is started… This makes me going mad… :-)

The other problem was that PA is not closing after scheduled jobs. I found the error as I wrote above. You have to uncheck the alert. Maybe you should da this by default when having schedules tasks. If alert “backup done” is enabled then PA doen’t close after backup and stays open and in memory of course then.

Alert has nothing to do with task scheduler - it is problem with Win2003 task scheduler, as long as task is entered there, it has to run (nothing to do with PA itself anymore).

I checked several times the scheduler… Still not knowing where the problem is… I will keep on searching.

Here we go again… :-)

After the scheduled backups finish I see in the processes list that the PA.exes are still open. So I guess that after successful backup they won’t be closed…

And I still have on a Windows 2003 Server the problem that the task is not running. Only when I log in. But I gave the scheduled task a user and password. Any ideas?

if task is nor running unless you login, you need to check in windows scheduler what the problem is - you can check directly in scheduler. Common problem there is that correct login/pass was not provided so schedule cant login.

as to the pa.exe staying in the background - send us your pbs and we will try it out.

thanks,

The 7zip and zip with right click worked. So I checked which settings the right click options have. Changed the pbs file to these settings and starting the pbs worked finally…!!

The only thing I changed was putting the 7zip compression level fom utra to maximum. Then it worked and uploaded the file to the ftp server.

Now the scheduler has to work and I am happy…

you can send us that pbs file at support at conexware.com so we can take an look, but please download final version of PA before so we can make sure this has not been address already… thanks!

Like I said… It is the final version…

ok… but I will do some final test. I just right clicked and said create 7zip. At the same time I do right click an create zip.

We’ll see how far I come…

If this doesnt work I will send you the pbs file.

This was what I was trying to say. i used zip and it still didn’t work. Even with final version…

Not so much… Something like 7GB, 8 Folders… I always use the normal setting… Never tried full or incremental.

above error is 7zip error not zip.

Check compression - make sure it is Normal, not Ultra/Max (not backup type, compression strenght).

Download final release from download page or via Web Update.

If you want to use 7zip, try using Normal setting which takes up a lot less memory. Try with Zip as well.

How many files/folders are you compressing in total?

Error writing to a file.

Possible reasons: Disk full or no write permissions.
Please check if you have permissions to write to this folder.

Vista users:
In Microsoft Vista, writing to certain folders is not allowed (i.e. C:\Program Files).
You will need to start PowerArchiver as Administrator. If you are extracting files you
can use drag and drop from PowerArchiver main interface to extract files to that folder.
Uploading D:\Temp_PA1653574904\kpi01-24-09-2008.7z

There is still 300GB left an D:

That didn’t solve the issue. Any other ideas?

well what was the issue?

try using zip instead of 7zip…

That didn’t solve the issue. Any other ideas?

I also set the password as you mentioned.

Thank you!
