slow performance
Since the last couple of updates Backup4All is very slow in initial loading of the program then very slow to start a back-up set. Once the back-up set has loaded the running the seems to complete reasonably quickly. Has anyone experienced a similar issue and have a solution to the problem?

Hi,
Does it stays on a specific starting phase?
Please make sure you have the latest version, which is now: 9.3.420.

Re: slow performance
The issue is when manually running a scheduled backup set. From selecting the set it takes 20 seconds or more before the action is started.

Hi,
When you select a backup job, the backup catalog is loaded.
Is that a large .bkc catalog file?
Do you use the local catalog or the catalog from backup destination?

Re: slow performance
The catalogue file is 5072Kb in size and held locally. The destination drive is an Ultra SD Card. The card holds 5 copies of the catalogue file

Re: slow performance
Hi,
Do you have the same problem with other destination types?
What about with another backup job on the same destination drive?

Re: slow performance
The issue appears to be specific for one backup set. Other sets seem to be OK and to other destinations likewise.
The slow performance is specific to the back-up set for my documents folder + a Google Earth My Places File to a micro SD Card. When the scheduled backup set is run this completes quickly it seems to be slow only when running manually a scheduled backup set

Re: slow performance
I have checked the scheduling of the backup set that is causing the issue and it appears to be saved as a NEW Backup and not the name I had given it. Deleted the schedule and recreated a new schedule and now all appears to be working. Perhaps the schedule was effectively timing out causing the delay in starting when running the backup set manually?

Hi,
I cannot know how that scheduler was configured.
I am glad the backup is working fine now.
