More fun fun fun with Microlite BackupEDGE.
A variation on the theme today and again, one that didn't seem to be covered by the FAQ on their support site.
Failed to initalise my disk :
Reason is SharpDrive token file exists before mount
Turns out that somehow I've managed to get a .edge.token in the directory where the disk gets mounted, but prior to the mount taking place!
For me it was
/usr/lib/edge/system/mnt/sd.sdc1
ls -lt shows me that I had a token file there, even without the disk mounted.
A quick rm and problem is sorted!

Failed to schedule Software Protection service for re-start
I have been running Windows 8 for a while now, upgraded from 7.
I've been seeing the following error in my Event Viewer for a while and decided to look into it:
After much searching I found this thread on Technet that covers deleting and reinstalling the offending scheduled task.

So, with thanks to Yan Li I was able to stop the error occurring, but I did encounter a different error when attempting to import the task from my backup:
(24,9): Priority
The error message isn't very helpful, but comparing the XML with that of SvcRestartTaskLogon, I noticed that the following section in SvcRestartTask
<RestartOnFailure>
<Priority>3</Priority>
<Priority>PT1M</Priority>
</RestartOnFailure>
in SvcRestartTaskLogon is
I changed the offending lines in SvcRestartTask and it now imports correctly.

Microlite BackupEdge again...
Info: Restore Failed With Exit Code 64
Helpful error message when attempting an Expert restore today - pulling back an inadvertently deleted file from last nights backup created with Microlite BackupEdge
What it actually meant to say was :
Info: Restore Failed - unable to create directory in restore location.
If you try to restore without selecting Flat Restore AND if a file with the same name as the folder you're attempting to restore exists in the Restore To: path, you'll get this error.

Delete Files Older Than Date Using Batch Files
This problem has nagged at me for years. Here is a batch command to delete files on a Windows 2003 machine.
forfiles -p z:\backup -s -m *.* -d -3 -c "cmd /c del /q @path"
This will delete all files in my backup directory older than 3 days. To test it first, use this:
forfiles -p z:\backup -s -m *.* -d -3 -c "cmd /C Echo 0x22@Path\@File0x22"
This will print out each file that you will be deleting
This came in handy for deleting my old Macrium Reflect backups which were created using it's Duplicate facility, I didn't want to use their suggestion of robocopy, as my initial backup is over the network and I didn't want to drag it all back again! Thanks erijas!

A nice exciting new error in Microlite BackupEdge today.
af token exists before mount
Got this error in edgemenu when we attempted to access a usb disk which was setup as an attached file system af0, using a file system partition fsp0.
Turned out that once again there were left over files in the mount point:
/usr/lib/edge/system/mnt/af0
Moved the .edge_af file to /tmp and it's all working again now!
I wish the firm would make the change to using the smartdrive method, it's certainly less problematic in my experience.

Attempted to add a cow-worker to a MSN (Windows Live) Messenger Group today.
When sending from within messenger, the invite went from my screen but never arrived.
Tried again from the group website and it said I couldn't invite him:
"This person doesn't allow invitations"
Turned out that his account needed setting to a Limited Profile, rather and Private.
Changed that, and was then able to invite him to the group successfully.
