Backup 6.0 - Updated 01/07/2014
Re: Backup 6.0 - Updated 01/07/2014
I hope I am posting to the correct thread.
Long time MMW and Backup script user. Built a new box, fresh MMW4 install on Win7 64bit.
To set up Backup 6.0 I looked up my config on the other box to get all my paths and such. Couldn't figure out why it would not let me specify the Output Archive path. Came here and found the "ya gotta register the XZip.dll before Output Archive works" thread. Phew!
Now, I run the backup manually and nothing. No activity showing in status area, no error message, no output to the target folder structure.
Is there some kind of logging? I looked at Event Viewer applications and system. Nothing there.
Thanks in advance!

It could be that the script is failing to run the helper scripts, but I'd have thought you'd get an error if that was the case. If you edit the "Backup.vbs" script files in a text editor then you can modify line 30...
...to be "True". Then you should get a logfile in your %TEMP% folder.
Code: Select all
Dim Debug : Debug = False

Okay,
this is driving me insane, I'm sure it works and I must be doing something wrong
Getting Windows Script Host
line 29
char: 3
error: Path not found
Code 800A004C
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
Which path is this talking about?
I'm using the latest version from your website
Windows 8 and MM 4.0.6
Thank you

Re: Backup doesn't start!
Hi, now it starts (I've checked "always start backup with confirmation") but it keep deleting the output folder and crating it again the next time the scipt runs.
As what to do about restoring the backup it's a complete mistery.

* I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I was directed here by MM Support. My apologies if not.
I receive an error when attempting run the backup script (see screenshot).
Also getting the following message upon exiting the program: "Backup cancelled because output folder already exists".
Please help. I desperately need to backup my library & settings. Thank you.

Someone else will have to help you with the first part of your question. But your second question is a common question in this thread. Check out my post here. I think it will help you.jeremyryan wrote:* I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I was directed here by MM Support. My apologies if not.

Re: Backup 6.0 - Updated 01/07/2014
Thanks for the reply gpzbc. I tried the suggestion to "overwrite previous backup" and although it eliminated the error pop-up messages, there is still no backup generated. I noticed that the top 6 options in the Backup Settings are all "grayed out" (see pic). Is that relevant? It appears that I am not able to change any of them. Thoughts anyone? Thanks again.

Re: Backup 6.0 - Updated 01/07/2014
I wonder if it is because you have MM installed as Portable? Hopefully someone else will chime in.
While waiting for someone else to chime in, there is a lot of history in this thread that might be very useful to you in getting this script set up.

Today i started backup and everything was fine until at the bottom it said xstandard ... then the final report came up with errors. This happened once before about a month or so ago and I uninstalled backup and reinstalled. But doing that this time gives the same problem.
1) Any thoughts on what is causing this (my guess is some pesky av sw but nothing else has been affected)
2) How to get backup back up and running correctly

I've found an alternative backup solution. Perhaps this will be helpful to others. I've been manually backing up with "SyncToy". Here's the link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... x?id=15155. Still awaiting a fix for the MM Backup Script.
