Don't pause your Backup with SmartWare ... it won't back up anything afterwards

sbrook · March 8, 2014, 1:07am

SmartWare Pro 2.1.0 Win 7 Pro 64

I paused a backup with the “Disable Backup” button.

Enabling the backup and it’s sat there doing nothing for the last hour.

There are also a heap of files … gz, iso and .dsk files that it didn’t back up on a folder oriented backup.

Seems this bug that was supposedly fixed STILL isn’t actually fixed.

Now to try different software!

Does the problem persist if you eject the drive and restart the computer?
