v5 "losing" configuration information

[fcwilt]

Hi,

For my installs I always override the "user settings folder" changing it from drive C: to drive D: (no other changes).

However for reasons I cannot identity I often start up the program and it has reverted to drive C: - and of course there is no configuration information there.

If at that point I change the override setting back to D: it happily copies the current configuration files from C: to D: - since there are no files on C: (they are on D:) it results in wiping out the files on D: - and losing ALL of the configuration information.

I have learned to keep backups for the folder on D: and I can recover but there is something wrong somewhere.

Seems to me before copying the files to D: it ought to check if they are already there - but, of course, if shouldn't be forgetting the folder override in the first place.


Also, and possibly related, sometimes when starting the program it pops up a dialog about windows is configuring the program for installation (or something like that).

Thanks.

Hi,

What version of Backup4all do you use?
We fixed that problem in one of the latest releases.
