Hanging at end of Backup
-
I am trying PA 2015, and the two backups have hung. It occurs right at the very end, the last file in the last dir is displayed, the backup program goes “(Not responding)”.
Some backups worked ok, but one failed so I repeated it and also hung.
Any clues?
Any info I can send?
-
Moved the PA temp dir to another drive with more space, over 300G free, checked backup destination, 540G free, tried again … same result - the PA…tmp file is copied to the backup destination, but stays locked open.
-
Strange … tmp file appears closed, I can rename it … so changed it to a zip file and PA opens it ok :confused:
-
Tmp file is same size as backup destination zip file. If I eventually kill PA Backup and try to open the zip PA does open it, doesn’t complain it is corrupt … but there are only the very first few files in it.
-
No, it looks like I just have to wait, 55 minutes after it got to 100% it displayed a dialog saying backup complete :confused:
-
Hello, sorry for the issues you are seeing… send us pbs file to support@conexware.com and we will check it out. Thanks!

Done

It looks like PA zips the data to a tmp file, and when that is finished is when the 100% is shown. At that stage it seems it starts copying the tmp file to the backup destination folder. There seems to be no visual indication of what is happening, the program appears unresponsive and there is no progress bar.

got the pbs script, thanks for sending it.
let’s take a look -
please check this release:
http://www.powerarchiver.com/test/release15/powarc150106.exeit now has a proper progress dialogue for temp file copying.
thanks!
