bakerg_j 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2010 I am also having the same problems when trying to backup a project. Are there any solutions out there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bakerg_j 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2010 Ron, I have now got a backup to work - I use PC Tools Internet Security - if you use the same program try disabling Intelliguard then try the backup again as doing this worked for me. ... Graeme Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwrockyrf 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2010 Hi Forum, Using TMG 7.04 on Win 7 - 64bit desktop machine and I am unable to do a backup to my hard drive. I get the Input file Read Failure Error. I have temporarily disabled Norton Firewall as that "type" of remedy seemed to work for a previous poster. No joy here, however. I think I have done prior backups without this roadblock, but I am not entirely sure it was on this new machine. I have plenty of back ups from my other machines. I have made some minor data entry updates this summer on this machine and wanted to do a back up before I pack up and move to my winter home. I am a loyal lurker on TMG-L and will check over there too. Would appreciate help of others who have bumped into this issue recently. Doug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwrockyrf 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2010 Dear Forum, I apologize for my previous post. I have been able to make the backup as required. Turns out that the Preferences had an erroneous path shown for my Back-ups (likely the default). I had quickly installed TMG on this new machine and just started using it. It showed /Administrator/Documents/ etc in lieu of my /Username/ for that entry. Changing the /Username/ to match the structure on this computer enabled the back up to proceed and correctly deposit the .sqz file where it is supposed to be. Appears to have been my first backup on this machine as when I checked for the backups the Backup file was empty. Thank you for being here as a resource.
