Backup Query
Hello Everyone, just wondering about backups? I have scheduled a weekly backup and include Acc. Properties, Folders, Address Books, Global Options and Attachments. This appears to work fine (fortunately never had to use them) and the output is a .tbk file. Two question: a) do I need to backup quick templates separately or are they included in one of the above headings? Where would I find my current QT? b) as mentioned I never had to use a backup but my harddrive now contains 2 dozen tbk files of increasing size. Assuming I don't notice a sudden unexplained drop in file size, is there any reason not to delete older backups? My assumption is that if my most recent backup does not work, it's likely that the older ones might also have problems but more to the point, the value of a backup taken a year ago with respect emails is not very high or am I missing something? -- Best regards, Tom using TheBat! 3.99.3 on XP Current version is 3.99.27.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
Outbound Problem
I've had an intermittent ongoing problem for the past several months. When sending email it quite properly goes to the outbox and an attempt is made to connect to the smtp server, but after some time the attempt aborts with the error message "Could not connect to the server", which is also shown in the account log. This happens to outbounds on all of my three different accounts. I've enabled protocol logging, but since there is no connection and hence no protocol exchange, the protocol log remains empty. The smtp settings in TB! seem to be correct, and have not changed in several years. The problem is intermittent; sometimes a message will be sent and the next message, a few seconds later, hangs. Once a message hangs, it hangs indefinitely. Restarting TB! is no help. And while the TB! outbound is hanging, other internet connections work normally. Any thoughts would be appreciated... -- Dave Goodman The Bat! 3.99.25 AntispamSniper 2.7.1.1 Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 Current version is 3.99.27.2 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
