Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro - a must have tool for techs

[fabs]

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.

Same thing. Also, if I choose Check for updates, I get this.

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

 

[Your PCMD]

What version are you running ?

7.6.1.3732

 

[fabs]

Yes, this one has a broken updater. You need to grab full package from your Fab's shop account.

Hello,
Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro V7.8.0.4231 has just been released.

Here is the change log:

Added:
- Support for NVDA screen reader settings.
- Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 (currently in preview for developers) are supported
- Support for DrayTek Smart VPN Client settings.

Fixed:
- Default Mozilla products family (Firefox, Thunderbird...) profiles were not set back as default profiles after restore / transfer.
- If fonts key was missing from registry, the program got stuck while trying to export fonts registry information during backup / transfer.

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).
This time, updater should work as expected (at least, it does on my end ! )

Support for NVDA screen reader settings.

Thank you, very much, for adding NVDA's settings in addition to JAWS settings. Screen readers are used by a distinct minority of the whole Windows user base, but historically they've been subject to some of the worst screwing up of their systems, particularly in regard to accessibility, because most techs have zero familiarity with most assistive tech to begin with.

This will go a long way toward preventing that, and it is deeply appreciated by those of us who work with third-party screen reader technology and all of those who use same.

You'll be so proud of me, I've finally got around to migrating my 16 old Delphi project to the latest Embarcadero compiler

Nice.
That's funny as I'm installing latest Delphi (community version for testing first) at the moment

Hello,
Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro and Fab's AutoBackup 7 Home & Office V7.8.1.4387 have just been released!

Here is the change log for both versions:

Added:
- The program can now export BitLocker digital password for current running system drive. Backup this item before any Windows upgrade because in some cases, the operating system would not start anymore and ask for this password to access the drive.
- Ability to select all folders in a drive's root at once in additional folders by double click on it or using ">>" button. Then all sub folders will be added to the list except some sensitive ones like C:\Boot, C:\Windows, etc... as they could harm a working windows system at restore/transfer. If you wan to get them anyway, you will need to select them individually. Note about C:\Boot folder : as it may totally break a machine's ability to start, it's impossible to select it anyway.
- Windows Explorer recently opened files list is now handled.

Fixed:
- Improved Mozilla products family (Firefox, Thunderbird...) profiles handling.
- If source drive disconnects while copy job is running (this can happen if source drive is USB attached), the program will not try to send an error report feedback since this is an external problem and not a program issue.
- Windows 7/8/8.1 sticky notes can't be migrated to Windows 11. Due to this, restore or transfer will be disabled for this item if Windows 11 is final operating system. If those sticky notes are really needed, they should be migrated to Windows 10 first, then migrated to Windows 11.

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).

I was sure I did the job at fixing that. Obviously not... Sorry. I'll look at it again tomorrow. Do you have that often?

 

[Larry Sabo]

Had it for the first time today, other than many moons ago.

This happens a lot.
Downloading a new copy usually fixes it but not always.
