Hi,

I created a ticket for this problem and we will fix it.

Is there any way around this problem, so we can get files backed up?

Hi,

The problem was fixed in build 9.0.333.
Please download and install it.
If you have any other problems, please let us know.

Thanks, Adrian. It works perfectly now.
