#3 Setup for Windows7
I have used, and liked, Peters Backup successfully on Windows XP. I am trying to get it to work for Windows7. When I try to have it back up the "My ..." type directories I get the message: "Invalid directory - <c:\Users\Scott\My Pictures\*>. Do you want to retry that directory ?" (that is straight out of the log file.). I have tried various combinations of double quotes (") with no luck. Can you help?
It seems I missed this report back in January. Emails were not being forwarded to me. Let me know if you still have a problem. I have been using it successfully on Windows 7. In Windows 7 the actual directory names are c:\Users\Name\Documents and C:\Users\Name\Pictures. You can see this by opening a command prompt and using "dir", or else open windows explorer at your documents, then click the input box at the top of the screen where it says >Libraries>Documents>MyDocuments. It will then change what is displayed there to the real directory path.
