Instead of using TB!'s own backup facility, I run a batch file that exports TB!'s registry entries to a text file in the TB! program directory and then copies the mail directory and program directory to .ZIP archives. Using 7-zip, the program directory (23.1MB, 255 files, 6 folders) typically takes about 7 seconds to back up but my mail directory (3.48GB, 666 files, 216 folders) usually takes over 25 minutes.

Automatic backup that includes password protected account?
Hi, I recently had very helpful advice setting up an "Archive" account for messages I'd like to keep, but don't need constant access to. What I noticed is that this account is not included in the daily automatic backup, unless it is open (I'm signed in) at the time of the backup, even though it's set to backup all accounts. Is this normal behavior, and if yes, how can I include this account (new messages are added to it pretty much daily). -- Best regards, Susannemailto:sisk...@gmail.com Using The Bat! 4.2.6 OS: Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 Current version is 4.2.10.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Bug in Automatic Backup
Hi, With a previous The Bat installation, I had the automatic backup set to run at 1300 hours and to backup to the E drive. That was quite a long time ago. Since that time, I have reinstalled Windows and The Bat a few times, but have always kept the same message base (and I think this is the cause of the problem). Now, The Bat continues to want to backup at 1300, and pops up an error message when it can't find the E drive (drive no longer exists). I have gone into The Bat preferences, and the System options are set as thus: Auto Backup: Enabled Backup every 4 days Start at 8:00pm Clicking on Advanced, the backup folder is The Bat folder in Application Data on my C drive, so no problem there. What I need to know - where is The Bat getting this old E drive path from? It's not from the preferences, that is obvious. It can only be from the message base that I've had throughout my Bat installations surely? And is there a fix for my problem? -- Regards, Mr Happy Using The Bat! v4.0.24.0 on Windows XP Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

If the backup is *weekly* do you really require time as well as date stamping? You could use a short path/filename & automatically rename/move it using a batch file (others here can help more than I can with this). -- Best regards, MFPA Free advice costs nothing until you act upon it Using The Bat! v3.80.06 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Current version is 3.98.04 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Try: PCName%Date(-mm-dd)-%Time(HH-mm-ss).tbk Because of the limited space in the file name 'window' you may have to enter small blocks of the text starting from the right.
