I had an issue updating to 7.6.1.3732 but a bit different in that the link from within the software did nothing. Updated from my online account without issue.

Aloha Fabrice,
I've got a user's drive with 239,000 files in 7,000 folders under the Dropbox folder. The first time I ran Fab's to do the Backup Data operation, it took quite a while to "take ownership" of the Dropbox folder (spinning hard drive, so it's sloooowwww, plus that is a whole lotta files), and then I was getting a LOT of Warnings about the file not on disk (I didn't save the exact error message, sorry). I killed the task with about 87,000 warning messages but I'm thinking this is "normal" for the situation where there is just a "placeholder" for the file which really is only online. Is this how Fab's is supposed to work with Dropbox?
Mahalo!

In your case, the user requiring the file is not the one that runs the dropbox account, so files can't be downloaded to get backed up. This is why you are getting such warnings. No worry, files are on the dropbox and Fab's could not touch them. Once user will be logged back in the DropBox user account, he will get his files like he used to.
OneDrive also has such a "file on demand" feature.
When you will restore data, just uncheck DropbBox to avoid surprises.
You are dealing with files that has references on local disk (this is why you can see their names, size, timestamps) but they are not really there as they are on line. When user opens one of them, it gets downloaded first.

Hello,
Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro and Fab's AutoBackup 7 Home & Office V7.6.2.3791 have just been released.
Here is the change log for both versions:
Added:
- Gpg4win certificates are now supported.
Fixed:
- An error message about a temporary file being used by antoher process when trying to update from the program itself could appear. This change will be visible only starting from next update. If you are experiencing such an issue today, please grab full package from your store account.
- Improved files size check after copy. Now if source drive disconnects while copying, the program will immediately throw warnings about target files size (usually 0kb) not matching with source ones.
Grab it from your orders history's details on the shop's website at https://store.fpnet.fr/account.php?language=en or using the bundled updater tool (click the "Download Fab's AutoBackup 7.X" link within the program and get the updated files).

Hello,
Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro and Fab's AutoBackup 7 Home & Office V7.7.0.4119 have just been released and that's a big update!
Here is the change log for both versions:
Added:
- A new "Accessibility" category is there.
- Support for Windows accessibility settings (color scheme, magnifier, narrator, text size, etc...). This item will keep its last state. For example, if you uncheck it, it will not be selected for next job.
- Support for Windows mouse cursors settings (size, speed, etc...).
- JAWS Screen reader settings
- Kurzweil settings
- Support for HMRC Paye Tools
- Installed printers list export: printer driver's name is now a clickable link that opens Google with printer driver name as search request. This can save time.
- Current, source and target computers names now appear in log's header depending on the job.
- Counters for copied, failed and remaining files now includes percentage based on total files to process to help knowing what remains to do.
- Mozilla based products will stop asking for profile at startup after a restore or a transfer job. This could be very annoying for people with a single profile and could lead end user to make mistakes. If there are more than one profile, profile selection will have to be re-enabled manually.
Fixed:
- GPG4win certificates could not be restored.
- Sometimes Mozilla based products profiles restoration/transfer could not work as expected. To prevent this, these items are now always copied in mirroring mode. Affected products are Firefox, Pale Moon, Comodo Ice Dragon, Waterfox, SeaMonkey, Thunderbird and PostBox.
- Mirror copy efficiency has been improved.
- When processing a Mozilla Firefox profile, serviceworker.txt file's content is reset to prevent corrupted content error message when browsing some websites.
- Bundled third party tools Sumatra PDF and sqlite3 have been updated to their newest versions.
Grab it from your orders history's details on the shop's website at https://store.fpnet.fr/account.php?language=en or using the bundled updater tool (click the "Download Fab's AutoBackup 7.X" link within the program and get the updated files).

My updater tool is just text, no linkage. Nothing happens when I click on it. (ver 7.7.0.4119)

Yes, it's still broken with 7.6.2.3791.
There's still a conflict between main app not releasing txt control file and updater that tries to create the same file. 7.7.4119 uses a different file name so there should not be such an issue with it. You need to go with full package instead (again...).
Sorry about that!

I thought there were check-boxes with which to select multiple additional folders in previous versions. However, now I see the method has changed. When did that happen? I must have been dozing. LOL

Yes there was until previous release. It's behavior was a bit dodgy so here we are now.
That being said, it's quite handy IMHO.

I'm having an issue where Fab's takes forever to open up. I can click to open, and it shows in the task manager, but never opens. Force close 2-3 times then it will work. Same thing on all my computers and even from the portable drive.

Hummm. This exactly why I disabled automatic check for updates.
What happens if you whitelist the following addresses on your firewall ?
activate.fpnet.fr
download.fpnet.fr
www.fpnet.fr
All on TCP 80 port.

What version are you running ?
You may need to download full package from website as some previous versions can't use bundled updater tool.

Now have version 7.7.0.4119 
Just didn't realize 3 years had already passed. But the new version is working as intended. Cannot go without my Fabs.
