    Prevent Windows 7 backup from running if a program is open.


    Hi all,I'm currently running Windows 7 backup daily on one of our PCs to back up data generated by a vendor software package. The vendor has informed me that if the backup runs while the software is open, it could cause issues with the software's access database. I have the automatic backup running at 2am when no users should ever be on the system. However, I would like to prevent the backup from running in the event that a user fails to log out of the software. Is there a way to do this?Thanks in advance!Brandon

    :)

    Sony Sound Forge 7 won't open since Windows 10 upgrade

    Tried to open my registered Sony Sound Forge 7 software program today and realized that since Windows 10 upgrade, like some other software programs affected, this one won't open.

    (1) Tried some of the suggestions in regedit but didn't see all of the Sony entries listed in the steps

    (2) Tried opening with "run as administrator" - didn't work.

    Any suggestions?

    running Windows 7 backup on Windows 10

    Hi,

    There may be a third party service running in the background that prevents the Backup and Restore (Windows 7) program from functioning automatically. Just to clarify, are you using Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro? We recommend
    performing a clean boot to see if you'll be able to automatically back up your files while the third party
    services are disabled.

    If you're using a third party antivirus software, it is possible that the program is preventing the automatic back up function of the Backup and Restore (Windows 7) program. Together with clean boot, we also suggest temporarily disabling your third party
    antivirus software to see if you'll be able to back up automatically. Disabling your antivirus software can make your computer vulnerable from threats. If the issue persists, please re-enable your antivirus right away.

    We'll be waiting for you response.
