HomeSeer with Active Backup Plugin
Posted: Thu Sep 02, 2010 10:48 pm
Vrienden, ik wil een case (met oorzaak en gevolg) met u delen. 
For some years I make Homeseer-backups on a networkdisk (NAS) with plugin ActiveBackup (Event starts every night at 04:00 after midnight).
But for same days Homeseer is crashing when making this backup (04:23 h.).
Een stukje Errorlog

Cannot find part of the pathC:\Testdrive\public\Homeseer Pro backup\ActiveBackup 201008280400\ActiveBackup 201008280400_0.zip.
28-8-2010 4:23:43 ~!~Web Server~!~Web Server stopped
28-8-2010 4:27:18 ~!~Startup~!~
The only reason for the crash I can remember is that I downloaded some Megabytes of Icons for use in BLicon.
From that moment Active Backup must backup a multivolume backup because the data exceeds 200MB (with the new icons).
But there is a BUG in Active Backup. Active Backup want to write the second ZIP on a wrong place:
"Can not find part of the path "C:\Testdrive\public\Homeseer Pro backup\ActiveBackup 201008280400\ActiveBackup 201008280400_0.zip".
TEST: Last night Active Backup succesfull made a backup to the hard disk D: in the Homeseer-PC. That works. ActiveBackup made a multi-volume backup on a LOCAL harddrive.
Conclusion: It seems that ActiveBackup has a problem making a multivolume backup on a networkdrive.
Doe uw voordeel er mee.
