Upgraded to 11 and no longer works.

I've had earlier versions and had no problems for years. Just upgraded to 11 and it does not run correctly. Three issues so far:

1) It did not transfer scheduled backups so recreated them, but the new program forgets them when loading and says no backups created! Once you fiddle around you can find them again, but re-rerunning the program says no backups.

2) Backups do not complete. The one am trying stops at 20% and does not continue. It is set to High Priority but just sitting there.

3) Backups do not cancel. Trying to stop the hung backup does not function.


Put in a customer support email but thought I would alert others that something is amiss now in what seemed like solid software from V8.0.

Same thing is happening to me. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!

I re-installed with "all users", but same problems persists.

 

Did you install the latest update?

Same problem as others. Installed trial and tried to backup a folder. Backup hung halfway through but on a particular sub-folder. Removed the sub-folder and backup worked flawlessly. Ran backup with sub-folder but with no compression and it worked flawlessly.

The folder contains a couple very large text files (60mb). It seems that the compression either hangs or is so slow that it virtually hangs on these files.

Other than that I like the software. (But this has to be fixed before I buy it)

Thanks

 

Are you attempting file by file backups in ATI 11? If so, there is a known bug in ATI 11 where, on some setups, it hangs partway through a a file by file backup -- it's not a particular file or size of files etc that seems the be the reason for the hang. However, if you turn of encryption for the file by file back, it will probably will work.

 

file by file backup? Would that be simply backing up a folder? Yes, a simple backup of a folder. Encryption? Do you mean compression? I never gave the backup a password so I assume it wasn't encrypted. I tried again with no compression and it failed. Could you direct me to the tech doc/article that describes this bug? This is very discouraging.
