  • I stop the service just before shutting down or rebooting so the shutdown will be quicker.  Other than a delay and event log entry, nothing bad happens if I don't stop the service.
  • I installed the test version listed above, including deleting the 3 .sys files first.  The scheduler service still doesn't shut down properly when I shutdown or reboot.  net stop "Backupper Service" works quickly.  Admin - can you split messages abo…
  • An update on the easy2boot side.  If Backupper or PE Builder make a bootable USB key directly, and you drop the icon for the key on easy2boot's MPI_FAT32 shortcut, you get an imgPTN file which works and doesn't have resolution problems.  Making an I…
  • Never mind.  If I let Backupper write to a usb key directly and don't make an iso for a multi-boot option, I get native resolution (as well as the message failed to change desktop size).  So easy2boot is somehow triggering this and it's not your …
  • I see the same message about the Backupper 5.8 scheduler service not shutting down as reported by Winuser (and taking longer than usual to do a system shutdown).  The service does shut down quickly if stopped from computer management.  I'm not using…
  • If I make a UEFI Backupper boot disk with version 5.8, I see the message "Failed to change current desktop size" as it's coming up.  So it is trying  to get a better resolution.
  • The 64-bit laptop is an ASUS VivoBook F512D, 15" screen, 1920x1080 native resolution, AMD processor, Windows 10, 10 months old.

    The 32-bit laptop is an ASUS X205T, 11.6" screen, 1366x768 native resolution, Intel Atom processor, Windows 8.…
  • Disable VSS service??? Won't that break system restore points and who knows what else?  Microsoft says "you should not do this": in Backerupper - amwrtdrv.sys causing BSOD on Windows 10 Comment by wssddc June 2020
  • Yes, please put the fix into an official release.  Any solution that includes boot from a USB key to replace a file isn't practical when you have hundreds of machines and aren't even supposed to enter buildings if possible because of covid-19.  Also…
  • Bad news.  Trying the std version at home, first just did an update install and got a blue screen on the next boot.  Then followed the complete uninstall directions and got a blue screen at the end of the install.  Windbg says "Probably caused by : …
  • Do you have a download for the technician version?  Or can we use amwrtdrv.sys from one of the above installers to replace the file from a previous install?

  • An ordinary code signing certificate, which is a minor pain to get, is not sufficient for signing device drivers. Sounds like they are getting the necessary cert through Symantec.  I have no idea what you have to do to get such a cert or why it's ta…
  • The release notes for 5.1 say "Fixed issue: the program crashes because of hundreds of thousands of files in NAS/Share folder."  Is that the problem discussed in this thread or something else?
  • How about c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe for the command
    /c net stop... for the argument
    c:\ for the working directory?
    (I don't have the paid version at home, and we haven't upgraded to 5.0 at work yet, so this is just a guess.)
  • Can't you just go into Windows disk management and expand the partition to the full disk?  Such an expansion should only take seconds.  A 4tb partition doesn't need to be GPT unless you want to boot from it.
  • (I'm just a user; we license Aomei at work.)  If you don't trust PE Builder, try creating an iso and then putting the iso on a flash drive with some other software.  I do this not for trust reasons, but because I make flash drives that can boot mult…
  • We see crashes when doing nightly backups on a particular production server once a week or so. So to be confident that the problem is fixed, we'd need several weeks of no crashes. We really can't disable driver signing on a production server for t…
  • For VSS errors from system writer, try this:
    Run c:\windows\system32\dcomcnfg.exe as administrator.
    Expand console root, component services, computers.
    Right-click My computer and pick properties.
    Go to the COM Security tab.
