- Scott - 02-27-2004 I used the new "Backup/Restore Toolbar" feature in TLB 2.2.0.15 RC2. Feeling confident in TLB and, apparently, thoughtless, I did a backup and restore without first doing one manually. After the first restore, I got a nasty surprise. Most of my settings had been lost. Some folders were restored, others were not. All main TLB settings had reverted to the default. I have no idea why this happened, because the restore processes seemed to go fine. I was upset to the point of considering to uninstall TLB when... Fortunately, I tried a second restore, using the same backup file, and that time it worked. I have no idea why it worked the second time and not the first, but nothing on my system had changed. Just a sort of "heads up" for anyone exploring this new feature. I'd submit a bug report, but the term "black hole" comes to mind when I consider doing so. - Yuri Kobets - 02-27-2004 Please can you send backup file to me (<!-- e --><a href="mailtoupport@tsoftcentral.com">support@tsoftcentral.com</a><!-- e -->) I'll test it. - Scott - 02-28-2004 I've already changed the toolbar and replaced the backup. (I know, I don't make things easy.) I will see if I can duplicate the issue, and I will send any problematic backup file I find. Thank you. - Yuri Kobets - 02-28-2004 OK. One question: what version of TLB do used to make that bad backup? For note: version 2.2.0.15 make creates backups in other format. Old one is supported but it can be buggy. - Scott - 02-28-2004 The only version of TLB that I have ever installed is TLB 2.2.0.15 RC2.
