Snapshot Location

[jont]

In v8 the snapshot location was remembered from the previous snapshot - fine but a nuisance with MultiSite (potential to overwrite)

In v9 it defaults to the "SiteBackups" folder beneath Actinic v9. If I point the file elsewhere and then undertake another snapshot it defaults back to the "SiteBackups" folder and not the previously selected folder. Changing sites then defaults back to the "SiteBackups" folder.

Under Housekeeping > Backup > Shutdown options this is pointing to my desired folder... this adds backup.mdb into the correct folder when selecting the "database" option at close down.

Due to several automated backup routines and other reasons the snapshots needs to be outside of the default folder. Is this changeable? Or do I have yet another special copy!

v9.0.1 IDWA Business Plus (nee MultiSite... nee Developer)

No special copy, it does the same here. V annoying!

I agree with this, swapping sites and snapshots melts your cranium.

[Darren B]

LOL maybe true, still waiting for support to get back to me, promised a call back ermm 4 or 5 hours ago, i thought it was a simple problem but i guess not

[jont]

Join the queue matey... I have a client who has been waiting 5 days to hear back from support!

[Darren B]

Oh ffs somethings never change then, i wont hold my breath, perhaps i need to tap up one of the crystal reports experts and get them to fix it and then send actinic the bill. reminds me they still owe me £250

D

[jont]

They still own me £50.00 ... to be fair never bother claiming it in the first place

What do you you need doing Darren? PM me and I will see if I can do it with Crystal for you.

[Darren B]

Thanks Jont

the dataentry report in V9 is wrong, its a job for actinic to fix, Thanks for the offer, always much appreciated, im only glad its an internally used form and the customer does not see it.

Ah - thought it was something you wanted specific ... well.. if Actinic have broken it they can fix it
