MediaMonkey forum

thank you for this suggestion. However, the notes for the example note that it would be different if I am on Win 64--which I am. Do you know how it would be modified in my case?

Whoops, I actually advised you incorrectly, that is assuming you are now using MM 4.XX rather than MM3.XX. The instructions I gave were for MM 3.XX. Now on MM 4.XX, your dll is stored at "C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\Scripts\XZip.dll"

So, on MediaMonkey 4.XX, the new instructions are:

a. Open command prompt by typing cmd.exe into start menu.
b. right-click on the command prompt shortcut and select "Run as administrator"
c. Input this command: regsvr32 "C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\Scripts\XZip.dll"

I hope that helps!

I had been using Backup without issue, but just recently been getting the following error messages when starting MM (4.0.7.1511):

===============
Error #70 -Microsoft VBScript runtime error
Permission denied
File: "c:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto\Backup.vbs", Line: 1693, Column: 2
===============
Error happened during script execution:
Permission denied
===============

Backup would not run on exiting, and any changes made to a) tags and b) Auto-Organize rules during the MM session were not kept.

I uninstalled Backup and the problems were fixed. I re-downloaded and re-instaleld Backup 5.8 and got the Error #70 message again.

As best I can tell, this is line 1693 in Backup.vbs:
===============
Sub CleanUp(par,del) '0=ask 1=yes 2=all
===============

Any help? Thanks.

The script is being blocked from deleting certain files. It's either because these files are locked (open in another application) or because your anti-virus-type software has decided my script is up to no good and therefore blocked it.

I have been running your script for some time now. This morning MMW went all squirly while running another script (count images) and MMW simply froze. I had to shut it down.

When started I got the following ...



So wow i thought glad i do a backup. I ran the restore script through windows scripting host and all appeared to be okay. But now when i try to start MMW i get the same message.

How can I restore? Thoughts on what might be wrong? Help

In order to get this to work I had to uninstall MMW (no not just using uninstall because that left LOTS of bits and it appeared to interfer with the restore). Then Reboot. Then install mmw again. THEN restore.

Hope this helps anyone else who gets stuck restoring.

Thank you for sharing this.

No problem. I hope it helps someone.

hello

i took a second attempt to integrate a backup method for my database.
target is to save database even if i start MM.

so i tried it with backup 5.8 extension
but i get allways an error



on the target line:



is there a new version out for this addon? can i solve this script self?
or are other addons available to backup the database?

i use MM as portable installation on a windows 2008 r2 server.
MM is on the newest beta release.

Perhaps: http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/inde ... icleid=153

allready tried out. can't solve the problem

why does the the activeX object can't be created?

Sometimes it's because it's not properly registered, sometimes it's blocked by anti-virus or other protection software, in my experience.

So today I got the infamous "can't open db .. create new local". But not to worry, I thought, I backup every shut down and if doing lots of edits a couple times a day. To make a long story short I tried the 'current' backup in the backup directory and the registry came up with error message about invalid keys. So i went to the last backup and was told something like invalid compression. So went to the previous ... I ended up back to the 28th of last year. In looking at the attached image you can see there is some problem going on. The 500K archives do not work at all.

So after the early restore I scanned my nas for the large music upload i did over the weekend and can work on the edits later. I then did a Backup and watched it .. Below is also the message from the end of the backup. At first glimpse it looks like it was successful .. but the devil is in the details. towards the end of course it says there was some errors. So I have 1 Question and 1 Suggestion

Q: How do i figure out what is causing the problem? I tried zipping with winzip and it works find. As there is no info reported this is a problem to debug

S: When there is an error Please put out a different display. Like i said at first blush it looks like it was correct. How about adding a button to the message box that displays errors and possible solutions.

Thanks .. when it works it works great.

Image of Backup message:

This Addon can't create large ZIP archives (limitation of zip library used) something that has been discussed a long time ago (I ran into that issue some years ago). I don't remember the max size supported, but it isn't more than a few 100MB.

Trixmoto has tested it up to 660 mb. http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... ze#p266977

Lowlander has confirmed that 800 mb is too big. http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... ze#p263377
