Subject: [Braillenote] backup problem
I have just tried to perform a back up for the first time since
installing keysoft 7. It simply did not work. I went to
utilities, pressed b for backup, b to indicate that I wished to
backup files not restore them, then typed in or selected a folder
to backup. At that point my Braille Note MPower froze and would
do absolutely nothing until I pressed reset. It did not matter
what folder I chose to backup or the method I used for selecting
it. Hitting enter after selecting the folder was the last thing
that could ever be done before the reset.
Obviously this is a serious problem that simply must not
continue. I could just backup the individual files I remembered
changing since my last backup this time by just copying them to
the backup folder on my network, but this won't always do, and it
is very tedious.
I really can't believe that the backup utility is broken in
version 7, but I'd like to here that people have used it
successfully since their upgrade. I'd also like to here some
suggestions of what i might try to solve the problem.
There is something else strange that I just remembered now, so I
thought I would ask about it. When I got my BrailleNote back
from being upgraded to an MPower I found that there was a phantom
folder called "January 1, 2002 backup" on my flash disk. I see
it as the default folder when I wish to choose a folder to
backup, and I occasionally see it at other times. If I really
look in the list of folders on my flash disk it does not exist,
though, no matter what i use to look for it. I tried to choose
directory and have it show all including hidden, but it still
doesn't exist. It is kind of driving me crazy. :-) Of course it
isn't actually hurting anything, but I really wonder why it is
there and not there, too.
