My trials and tribulations with error 91 - backup. I feel like I am in
the World of OZ.
I have a Toshiba Satellite (notebook, purchased in 2008 with plenty of
memory) with Vista Ultimate & an Ultra Tower with XP Pro, purchased in
2007. Both with Legacy 7.0.0.86, connected with Linksys wireless G
Broadband router / folder share. I run regular maintenance on both
computers.
I have been having error 91 backup miseries since early November or late
October with the Vista only. Sadly - I do not remember which version of
Legacy 7 update it began with. I had Legacy 7 for months with no problems.
I have been experimenting with a specific legacy database trying every
variable I can think of - including, full re-install, file maintenance
many times, removed all tags, ID #s, I have removed every one of the
potential problems, removed direct line indicators, colors, preferences
and so on and on. This database has NO multimedia locations or paths
attached.
(A) - I can backup with the XP PRO with no problems - pass the database
over to the Vista notebook, open the database making no changes or
additions what-so-ever - I can backup ONE time with Vista.
(B) If I immediately try to backup a second time - I get error 91, which
freezes the Vista computer. Adding variables such as closing Legacy,
rebooting the computer I still get the error 91 every time I try to
backup a second time. Backup gets about ΒΌ inch on the indicator -
backup error 91 & frozen computer.
HOWEVER - if send the database back to the XP Pro - open, again making
no changes, additions nothing - just open and backup it up with XP Pro.
Then send the same database back to the Toshiba notebook with Vista - I
get one good backup without problems but any attempt at a second backup
fails with error 91. The Good backups are Good backups - I have
opened and checked them. I have done this back and forth step dozens
of times.
* I was getting error 91 in Vista not XP Pro - for something else
earlier this fall but I cleared that out by going to Customize >
Locations and cleaning up my multimedia locations and paths. Sorry I
cannot remember the exact error 91, but it wasn't a backup error. File
maintenance does not touch these multimedia bad locations.
Suggestions and Sympathy appreciated,
Ana
