Hello Kari,
i've been following this thread for a bit now and if i may...
i've always done my backup by zipping the TB! main folder and subfolder
when TB! is not running. i find that its the easiest method. but, why in
your batch file do you call TB! _and then_ close it, and the backup
continues and so forth? isnt it easier to just call the batch file that
exports the registry setting and zip up TB!'s main folder & subfolder?
are there anything that i may have missed out somewhere? i'm still using
1.47 H.E. btw, so there's no backup & restore there :)
