View Full Version : SpriteBackup won't start at scheduled time

I recently upgraded my Sprite Software's Pocket Backup Standard to the latest release, SpriteBackup v2.1.4.

Since then, my scheduled backups don't occur when they're scheduled to! The program wakes up my device at the scheduled time, but the software won't actually start the backup procedure, so after a minute or so, my PPC powers down. When I power-on my PPC, after entering my power-on password, I see the Sprite software open, and it starts ticking down to commence the backup process. That's not very convenient, of course, because by the time I power-on my PPC, I want to begin using it, not wait 15 min. for my daily backup to finish!

Sprite Software support says they can't replicate the problem.

I'm going to try to go back to the version that used to work (v2.0.1) and I'll probably just stick with that version unless a better solution comes my way.

Has anyone else had problems with the scheduled backup process not working properly?

A few versions ago, I had an issue where the unit wouldn't wake up to perform the backup; the backup kicked in the next time I turned it on. I can't remember how I corrected it but alls I know is it works now.

Mine did the same. I uninstalled and reinstalled and have been fine since.
