I was backing up and restoring whole stuff (e-mails, addresses) into one TBK, never tried partial restore. All my accounts are POP3. Between Vista and W7 last time was about 9 month ago (you will have to check which version was up to date then). Between W7 machines last time was about 3 month ago ; too much traveling lately so it sits all the time on my notebook. I tried to use Voyager as well but IMO it's not user friendly process and apart of first successful sync to Voyager I couldn't get it running properly (sync of 9GB takes too long as well ; apart of the fact that I had to use huge USB stick to sync (more than twice of the size of the archive = 19GB at least...)). -- Best Regards, RS (FEDARA) The Bat! 5.1.6.2 Windows 7 x64 Professional (7601 Service Pack 1) POP3 accounts (x5) Thursday, October 11, 2012 (22:01 ; GMT+8) Current beta is 5.3.2.1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Were these successes with recent versions? I have just tried again still the same problem. I have about 20 email accounts to manage, mostly IMAP and I wasn't synching messages just address books and settings. -- Best regards, Tonymailto:t...@parkinch.co.uk The Bat! 5.3.2.1 (BETA) Current beta is 5.3.2.1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hi Tony, > Can anyone confirm problems with Backup & Restore? Worked for me between Vista and W7 at least 10 times. However, happened once that file was not readable. As it happened once only and while PC powered off during coping data I assumed that archive got corrupted. Used it between W7 machines (notebook and desktop) as well couple times and was all good. -- Best Regards, RS (FEDARA) The Bat! 5.1.6.2 Windows 7 x64 Professional (7601 Service Pack 1) POP3 accounts (x5) Wednesday, October 10, 2012 (22:39 ; GMT+8) Current beta is 5.3.2.1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Backup & Restore & Synchronise broken
Hello Tbbeta, For a number of versions Backup & Restore do not work across different machines. I can make a backup on XP but my Win7 laptop says "Error reading file" with no further clues. I just tried Synchronise (which I haven't used for a large number of versions as it was too laborious) and it goes through most of the steps but also fails "Error reading file" Synchronise is looking very useful once it works because it is now totally automatic once both machines are pointing at the same folder. Can anyone confirm problems with Backup & Restore? -- Best regards, Tony mailto:t...@parkinch.co.uk The Bat! 5.3.2.1 (BETA) with IMAP on Windows XP 5.1.Service Pack 3 Build: 2600 Current beta is 5.3.2.1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
