Thanks batters!
Hi all - Just to thank Mary and Tony and others who helped out with this batch file for backing up TB - went perfectly, except that I had to manually import the key for some reason (no doubt I missed something when editing the file paths), but it worked beautifully. I can't tell you how grateful I am! -- Lynn :Hawthorne: :usflag: :canadaflag: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * *Aun Aprendo I'd rather be WARP'ed* * * Team OS/2 http://www.turriff.net TBv.3.0.1.33 NT5 SP4 Current beta is 3.0.9.17 Return | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
Re[2]: Backup issues?
4/7/2005 TB My batch file, which is actually Januks batch file does exactly that. It TB backs up the reg entries, zips up the whole TB! directory and writes it to TB CD well, SD flachcard here anyway. TB And you don't need to reinstall fresh before restoring your backup, just TB unzip it into Program Files, run the reg file and it's done. All you'll TB need to do is create a new shortcut for it which is what would be done for TB you should you install fresh first. That's a very attractive proposition - thanks to you and Januk, and also Mary who did send me the script. I hate reloads, but you've removed the actual trauma from the process! -- Lynn :Hawthorne: :usflag: :canadaflag: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * *Aun Aprendo I'd rather be WARP'ed* * * Team OS/2 http://www.turriff.net TBv.3.0.1.33 NT5 SP4 Current beta is 3.0.9.13 Return | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
Re[2]: Backup issues?
4/7/2005 SH I don't know if it's possible to get the path of all of the installed SH plugins from somewhere but you can make sure that your plugins are SH properly added to the archive by adding the relevant paths to the last SH line of the script. So, for example, mine reads SH C:\Progra~1\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe a -u -as C:\email\TBBackup.rar SH C:\Program Files\The Bat! C:\Program Files\MyGate C:\Program SH Files\Universal Macro Extender Thanks for this too - I'll have to scrutinize the folders to see what actual plugins are there; I abandoned Bayesit when I found I could filter it on the server more effectively, but there may be other stuff - thanks for the heads up! -- Lynn :Hawthorne: :usflag: :canadaflag: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * *Aun Aprendo I'd rather be WARP'ed* * * Team OS/2 http://www.turriff.net TBv.3.0.1.33 NT5 SP4 Current beta is 3.0.9.13 Return | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Backup issues?
Hi Batters - I have an emergency going on here; I installed a db package which has somehow trashed most of my executables, my Palm db, and apparently the install/deinstall controls on my system. It looks like I'm going to have to wipe the boot partition and reinstall, because nobody can figure out what exactly has happened, or the extent of the damage. The last time I did a backup from TB, the recovery wasn't exactly graceful - that was the Christmas release version of v3, if I remember correctly - I think there was an upgrade after that one? I've kind of been waiting (hoping?) that a more robust release was around the corner, but .. anybody know of anything I can do to back this up without losing too much data? My folders are really too big to sit and save each to text files, and some of it really is mission critical stuff. It's sitting on a high partition, and the accounts are POP accounts - also have lots of big filters. Oh .. yes, this is a beta version :-( That's why I'm asking here. tia - -- Lynn :Hawthorne: :usflag: :canadaflag: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * *Aun Aprendo I'd rather be WARP'ed* * * Team OS/2 http://www.turriff.net TBv.3.0.1.33 NT5 SP4 Current beta is 3.0.9.13 Return | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

4/6/2005 L anybody know of anything I can do to back this up without losing L too much data? My folders are really too big to sit and save each L to text files, and some of it really is mission critical stuff. TF Export the registry key into the TB directory. Zip the whole TB TF directory. TF After you have reinstalled your OS, install TB new from scratch TF (download the current version from the Rit site). TF Then close TB, unzip the zip file created above into the directory TF (overwriting everything you might have created there), then import the TF reg key into the registry. TF When you now open TB, all should be exactly the way it was before the TF crash. If not, we'll go into your folders directly. Let me know if TF necessary. If I were a betting person, I'd be inclined to bet that that's just what Tony's batch file does ... will let you know how this comes out, and thanks! -- Lynn :Hawthorne: :usflag: :canadaflag: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * *Aun Aprendo I'd rather be WARP'ed* * * Team OS/2 http://www.turriff.net TBv.3.0.1.33 NT5 SP4 Current beta is 3.0.9.13 Return | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
Re[2]: mail downlaoded but not saved
11/21/2004 D the log shows the mails as downloaded but they are still on the server some error messages in the log are actually generated by the server .. I haven't yet figured out any sure-fire way to identify which is which, but if the log says they've been dl'd but haven't, I'd be inclined to think the message was generated by the server. I was able to straighten out some stuff with one isp I had by sending him all my log files .. but it took me nearly two months to figure out that the messages were being generated by his server, not my system :-) -- Lynn :Hawthorne: :usflag: :canadaflag: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * *Aun Aprendo I'd rather be WARP'ed* * * Team OS/2 http://www.turriff.net TBv.3.0.1.33 NT5 SP4 Current beta is 3.0.2.7 Rush | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/

Re[2]: Wrapped .33
10/14/2004 MB I really didn't think that I had the computer skills to be able to MB contribute, among the really able people on a list where I'd been MB lurking for awhile. Beta testing is less a matter of computer skills per se, than it is a matter of using the software enough to find out where it breaks, and being willing to document what happened and where. Well, and taking the risk that something will break that will require some technical expertise in the recovery, but that's not going to happen here, eh? lol! I should probably not be doing it, for lack of time, but the only problems I'm having at the moment (.33 loaded fine, only one entry in the add/remove programs list, haven't seen the other problems people have been having) is with the NFS, but as that may be operator error, I'm still tweaking it.
