    Hi Paul

    Unfortunately no. I had to build a 2nd usb key from their program.

    Someone reported me that there was an issue in enumerating local NAS boxes, when selected Network as the destination path, anyone encountered this problem before?

    It's now up to version 3 and 4 beta.

    I've been testing version 3. I am having trouble getting differential backups to work on a "Services" schedule.
    It keeps making full backups. Maybe I should try a "Task Scheduler" schedule.

    Hi Hadron, have you checked out the Logs, if there's any error message with the differential backups to work on a "Services" schedule? Thank you!

    Thanks. When I get a chance, I'll check the logs out. I am still using 3.1. I haven't tried 4.0 Beta yet.

    Hi Peter,

    I have tested the subscription by myself, and I get the license notification email in Gmail Promotions, you may check out there, or maybe in the Spam folder. Good luck!

    The error I got was that I was already subscribed. Like it didn't know how to handle that.

    Hi Peter, you may have subscribed on the page before. Actually you can just unsubscribe from the list and re-subscribe after that, it is worked for me, thank you!

    When the error window pops up, click" Click here to update your profile" link. The system will send you an email to your inbox that contains a link to update your preferences, you can just unsubscribe there. You can repeatedly unsubscribe and subscribe that way.

    If you have installed ShadowMaker on your computer before, it may not need to register with a license key in a Beta, thank you!

    Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this.

    No problem it's working. But there surely must be a better way to handle beta's

    How do you display something (like an icon) when it is running to give you an indication that a backup is running?
    My backups run invisibly.

    I looked at the logs, but there is no error.
    I have checked my scheme and it is still set to Differential, but it still keeps making full backups.
    It even has "-full" at the end of the Image file name.

    Hi Hadron,

    For now, there's no indication to display something that is running, it's a great idea, and I believe that the team will be considering this one, thanks a lot!

    Sorry for the inconvenience, can you please send the report of the backup, I can forward it to the right person in the team to check out and get back to you as soon, if possible, share me more than one record of the same issue that you have encountered before, thanks a lot!

    OK. Here is the full log of all backups.
    There is one early backup when I was setting it up that failed due to insufficient disk space, but apart from that, there are no errors that I can see.
    Also, if I click on Browse, Restore, Verify or Mount, it says "No good backup version is found!" If I click on Locate Image, it does nothing.

    There is also a cosmetic problem. See image.
