    • Need to find out how to disable "all users" to end UAC elevation prompt on running PA

      Q

      I am looking for a way to stop the UAC elevation prompt when running Powerarchiver. In an old post about PA 2019, someone asked this and got a response to uncheck “all users” at the prompt but I am not seeing where one can do this. It definitely seems like the way to go though as if I click on “More Details” at the prompt I see that it is trying to run “_pautil.exe /paassociate /allusers /my(long binary string)”. Can you let me know? Thanks.

      PS I tried renaming _pautil.exe and this worked, but I don’t know what the consequence of doing this may be so I would like to do this properly, thanks.

    • Does PA supports Intel's zlib?

      G

      There would be many of us with Intel Processors.

      and they have their own optimized zlib algorithm, which can result in more efficiency if used combined with their hardware processor.

      Reference:
      https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/white-papers/zlib-compression-whitepaper-copy.pdf

      Can we get the same Functionality Under Hardware Acceleration Feature?

      Zlib is not the only feature that intel has included with their processor, there’s many, which if combined can result in efficient and better compression ratios.

      Hello, ive just purchased PA2011 Toolbox and wanted to start a backup. But once the backup job is done (the progress window will show 100%) nothing happens and the PABackup window doesnt respond anymore.

      So all i can do is to kill the PAbackup.exe through the taskmanager.

      Also, the usb drive where the backup was saved on doesnt respond anymore either.

      Only a reboot fixes that problem.

      PA and PAbackup are both started as administrator.

      Hopefully you can help me.

      Thanks :)

        Welcome to the forums Zoriel.

        I run backups all the time and have never ran into this issue and I can’t recall every seeing it reported before.

        Support will reply to you soon but in the meantime if you could post your OS version and steps taken creating your backup to see if they can reproduce it.

        The more information you can give the better. :)

          Sure, i am running Windows 7 x64.
          The steps how i created the Backup were as followed:

          1. Started PA
          2. Clicked Backup Tab
          3. Clicked “New”
          4. Saved the scipt in “My Documents”
          5. Chose USB Drive as destination
          6. Chose Files to backup, for example “My Pictures” (tried also backing up my Thunderbird folder)
          7. Set Compression to “fast” (for Thunderbird files that was “maximum”)
          8. Set scheduler to “weekly” (“daily” for Thunderbird)
          9. Started the backup

          I left all other options as default. In both cases the result was the same.
          But the backup file was created on the usb stick.

          Thanks :)

              does it work properly when destination is not usb stick, but hard disk? or maybe another usb stick?

                    Hello, ive tested it now on a different USB Stick and the backup worked. This time the pabackup window also didnt respond but after 10 seconds or so it was suddenly finished.

                    So after this i tried the original USB once again and it also worked but the pabackup window became unresponsive for about 1 minute before it finished.

                    Before when i tried to backup my pictures i am sure i have waited much longer for it to finish. Maybe theres a connection between the backup size and the time of pabackup not reacting ?

                      it could be that it is copying backup from temp and it might not give progress at that point in time, and USB stick being slow, it looks bad… while our testers might have tested with either only HDD or faster combination of pc/usb and didnt notice it.

                      so we will check it out - it would be helpful if you attach the example pbs, just to make sure we can reproduce it!

                      thanks!

                        Not sure if its helpfull but the USB drive with the problem is a “Verbatim Store ‘n’ Go 8GB”; the USB drive that worked better was a “Kingston Data Traveler 102 4GB”

                          I think spwolf has to change permission settings for you before you can attach files. Though he will put me right if I’m wrong with that assumption. ;)

                            you should be able to do so now.

                            Just to confim - it works with 8 GB as well, just slower? Then it is probably copying of finished backup being slow due to the speed of the drive (and the fact that Backup isnt getting progress refresh during copying that makes it look bad).

                                    I suppose it does…i only checked with the smaller Thunderbird backup so far. There it worked with both Sticks after waiting a little bit.
                                    And last time i tried backing up some more files like my pictures, PABackup “froze” for quite a long time and i got impatient.
                                    But i will test that again sometimes in the next 1-2 Days.

                                      yes, if it is what I think it is, we will make it respond better during this copy operation, but speed stays the same, and is limited by usb sticks themselves. This is why you are getting different results with different sticks.
