Raygers 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2005 As I've reported before, I have trouble with a backup path that once in a while changes from "D:\TMG Backups\" to "Loadmode\". And the subsequent melt down is not pretty It happened the other night, so I saved a copy of the .pjc file and had a look at it with an editor. What I found was a lot of empty space just above the Backup location line, there were also some line feed characters (0A), and carriage returns (0D) embedded in there. I deleted all the "apparent" empty space and set this file as the current one. Yes I backed up the other one first. TMG opened fine and ran with no problems that I could see. When I looked at the .pjc file again it seems that there is an "emrty" line added every time I start, or exit maybe, TMG. That is why I had so much white space. all those added lines. Is this normal behaviour, or is something wrong here? File sizes, original file was 4.80 KB. After I removed the lines and opened and closed TMG three times, the file size is presently 3.32 KB. Whether this is at the root of my backup problem I don't know, but it's been an interesting exercise anyway Ray Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I copy that to a removable drive every month or so and then alternate that with one that is kept off site. Oh, and I backup to CD and DVD on a regular basis. Paranoid...... you bet.

Jim Byram 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2005 As I've reported before, I have trouble with a backup path that once in a while changes from "D:\TMG Backups\" to "Loadmode\". This is clearly a PJC file issue. It happened the other night, so I saved a copy of the .pjc file... Could you send me that copy if you still have it. TMG opened fine and ran with no problems that I could see. When I looked at the .pjc file again it seems that there is an "emrty" line added every time I start, or exit maybe, TMG. That is why I had so much white space. all those added lines. Is this normal behaviour, or is something wrong here? Clearly not. Paranoid...... you bet. Can't get too paranoid.

GenerationGoneBy 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2005 Yup. Just wish I knew where I put the S-Z backup of all my images. Luckily I just made a backup to mom's TMG so I only lost a few months work of scanning if they had to wipe my harddrive (should find out next week-if not today). The more paranoid you are the better I say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
