Hallo Nick,

live), you wrote:

Can't confirm that. Not the first time I restored a backup and not
just now. Created a new instance of Voyager (this time on my local
drive and not my USB drive) and restored my weekly backup.
Everything went ok.

So you weren't using OTFE, that's a difference with me. Did you have
all of your accounts stored in the same mail directory or were they
in different locations?

Can't comment on that as I don't use those.

I guess that could be because of the unencrypted format of your current
accounts, because that's what I did for test purposes just now.
You should realize though that Voyager needs the account directory to
be stored in a subdirectory MAIL of the programdir.
I tried it and got the message that a message base for Secure Bat! was
encountered in the MAIL directory nd that it had a different
encryption key (not true, same key) and subsequenty it was being
opened just fine.

What version did you use? All of my tests were run with the first
voyager.zip extracted and the latest beta put on top of it.

While running these tests I finally came up with two instances of
Voyager installed on the same HDD, this didn't cause me any troubles.
What I also tried was to run two instances of Voyager (from different
locations) but that didn't work. Running Voyager and TB at the same
time causes me no problem whatsoever.
