Backup Forum - Backup4all

I'm pleased to report that, following some direct correspondence with support, they have supplied me with a version of Backup4all (v7.4 build 475) which has resolved these issue for both OneDrive and Goggle Drive.

Top effort chaps. Thanks.

Funnily enough, after having not tried onedrive since the post, I tried it again last night. It worked - the PC was shut down (shuts down on success) and the log files indicated success!). This is with V7.4 build 461. I can only assume something changed in the build. However, when i opened Backup4al...

I had exactly the same problem last year. You can see the thread under the title 'Btray and Shutdown'.

In the end i used a workaround. I created a 'shutdown.bat' and run that.

My shutdown.bat is a simple text file with one line: shutdown -s -f -t 15 -c "shutting down"

It works!

An update: Overnight I backed up to Goggle Drive. Having set-up the Goggle Drive account via 'File --> Options --> online destinations'. Running the backup seemed fine. This morning I noticed that the PC hadn't shut down (as it should do upon the successful completion of a backup) and i was being pr...

Hi, have successfully in the past backed up to OneDrive without an issue - most recently 22nd July. However, I recently came back from an extended holiday and find that the onedrive backup is no longer working and i wonder if an upgrade has broken it. I'm currently running Backup4all Professional 7....

Perfect. Thanks. as it happens I'd just worked that out myself!! For others let me explain the nuance: You get two options: (i) limit the back size to a % of the destination; and (ii) to a specific size. The default is 80% of the destination size *unless* you choose a remote location. If you are bac...

Thought people may be interested in my workaround for this.

Hello all, I'm wondering whether v7.0.206 has broken something with OneDrive. I was successfully backing up with OneDrive. I'm now getting a 'Not enough backup free space to make incremental backup' error. I don't get this when backing up to local ftp. Note: I alternative between local ftp and oneDr...

Nope. BTW: now running v7.0.206 So what i did (and understood from your suggestion) was to create a entirely new backup job in the new v7 and run that (as administrator). Backup successful, laptop not shutdown, no error msg and no obvious attempt to initiate a shutdown. AS per the previous attempts ...
