Error 512 using PPBackup

[robdaa]

Greetings.

None of my data.db files are being backed up. The data.db files are clearly there. The below are all the errors, starting with a line before, a regular log line after and a few non-errors in between.

I can attache the entire log if you'd like.

Thanks,

P.S. Love this program!!

Was POP Peeper running when you performed the backup? Database files (.db) in particular cannot be backed up when they're in use by POP Peeper.

That did the trick! So when you execute the backup, there is a pop-up that says to close PP (click yes) or cancel (click no). Clicking yes is what I did but that apparently doesn't completely stop the program.

Wait... I just ran it again to see. It says please exit PP and click yes; I just clicked yes. My bad. I literally did not follow the instructions.

The onus is definitely on the end user to exit but might I recommend CR?
a) Instead of yes/no buttons, continue/cancel.
b) If continue is pressed, a check to see if PP is still running and if so, continue to present the same choices (continue/cancel).

I am good and will definitely know what to do next time.

Thank you sir!
Rob

I'll keep that in mind. The auto-Updater basically does that already.
