FTP Option does not work
-
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).

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.
-
ok, what compression are you using with right click 7z? Try using Normal instead of Ultra…
-
ok… Here we go…
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…
-
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,

I sent you the file.
I checked several times the scheduler… Still not knowing where the problem is… I will keep on searching.
-
did you check in Computer Managment> Task Scheduler? (or whatever it is called in Win2003)
-
Yes I did and in the properties “run only if logged on” is not checked. No idea why this is not working. I gave the task also the right user and pass…
-
Cant send you the pbs file. Its forbidden by our mailserver. Any other ideas…
-
I tried to send you the text output… Forbidden either… But I think I found the error.
The alert thing backup done was enabled… I disabled it… We’ll see tomorrow… -
zip it and send it.
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).
-
ok… Maybe I should write things a bit clearer.
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.

aha, i understand better now - problem is that we dont know if schedule is done when user is not logged in or when they are logged in - meaning, if we disabled it, many people will complain for not getting the done msg (it happened before).
However we can leave an timer - that will work? Auto disable/ok after 10 minutes for example?
-
Perfect!!!
:-)

ok… everything seems to work now. I made a complete new pbs and scheduler job. This one runs now… No Idea why because it is exactly the same as the one one that didn’t run.
Thanks for the great support!!
