Just had it happen again. I was running release 2.40. The log showed a new release was available (2.50), and NO BACKUP WAS DONE. I downloaded version 2.50, and tried to install it. however, it kept saying a file was in use, and stopped the installation. I start the server as a service. You would THI...

tried to send a private message to phpbb. Got message that user not found.

Any idea to whome I should address this question?

OK, ZIP files seems to be allowed, so I will use that in the future. But, if you canupload a ZIP file, why NOT a text file?

I don't think it was asleep. I just 'log off'. The macine and service keep running. When i next log in, the machine was still on, just not logged in.

The same thing happens with DOC files. 1. WHY are these file extensions not uploadable? 2. WHAT extensions, ot...

Also see my attached 'backup directory.jpg'. Note that there ARE logs for the above dates, of minimal size. Finally, see my ...

Thank you. I actually found that myself.

On several occasions, a new version of Cobian Reflector has become available. However, after that message is posted to the log, the backup stops! If I don't notice it for several days, no backups are created. Is there a reason Reflector can't prodeuce the message, and STILL do the backup? Perhaps an...

Several times, I've wanted to run a backup, but don't want to stay logged on while it runs. Being online locks out some files (in use), so they don't get backed up. I've set a manual start to run in a short amont of time (i.e. 5 minutes from current time) and then logged out, but that method keeps t...
