Re: backup during sleep in vista

While I run Windows XP Home Edition, I had a similar issue in that I wanted my daily SP backup job to run every night. Since I'm no tech, I decided to try a program called Auto Power-On & Shut-Down that runs as a service, with an icon displayed in the system tray, with a single task scheduled...

Wizard initialization failed. Exception occurred.

I get this message at the end of every session when I attempt to use the Backup Wizard to create a backup job. At this point rebooting my machine does not seem to help either. I am using the 30 day evaluation copy of ShadowProtect Desktop Edition 3.2.0.2. I am running on a Dell with Windows XP Pro and...

SP Service does not start

I just installed SP Desktop 3.2 on several computers, and all are running fine, except that on one of them the ShadowProtect Service does not start on boot up.

Having trouble backing up multiple partitions

After spending several hours trying to troubleshoot I have isolated what seems to be the problem but can't find a solution. ShadowProtects Desktop hangs, with status saying "initializing", when I try to back up the C:. I found that ShadowProtect seems to be very robust in the sense that...

Re: RAID Access Failure

Yup, lol . . . some things are built for comfort, some for security, some for speed. In the future, I'll be running without RAID at all. I personally don't think its worth it. Anyhow, to get back to my problem . . . I thought it worth reporting that I ran CHKDSK from XPs recovery console, and...

Re: Is ShadowProtect Desktop 3.1 the right product for me?

Hi Nate, I am writing to you because I found this string of posts with Google, and "newstore" sounds much like me with respect to our computers, operating systems, computer experience, and our having read the very positive review of ShadowProtect Desktop 3.1 in PC Mag. I have been looking for...

Problem restoring to Vmware Server

I have backed up my Windows XP SP3 system drive with Shadowprotect Desktop 3.1, and I cannot restore the backup to a virtual server I create with Vmware Server 1.0.6. I can start the Shadowdestop recovery environment all right in Vmware Server, but the problems come when Shadowprotect starts reading...

VSS stops on it's own.

I'm running XP Pro, have had SP Desktop on it since last summer. GREATEST PRODUCT IN THE WORLD ! (you can quote me, hehe). I have it send me emails about backup successes and occasionally a failure (yeah. The computer I work on every day sends me an email. !) When I check it out, the Volume Shadow...

I'd backed...
