Gabe777 7 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Hi. OKAY, just tried - for first time ever - to restore an earlier config. Error. So, I changed the backup location to the local disk, and experimented by making a backup, and then restoring. This was what happened: Image below and text from error: Please login to display this image. Simstarter.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Capt. PERO 398 Posted February 13, 2019 Developer Share Posted February 13, 2019 It looks as the target folder already exists. Could it be? I will handle that error in next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original folder will always be in the correct place...… the p3d.cfg file will always be in the relevant folder, etc etc. If thing go wrong, I just need to restore earlier versions of the files to those folders/ Thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Capt. PERO 398 Posted February 25, 2019 Developer Share Posted February 25, 2019 Sure that is how it works. But it looks like for any cases the target file already exists. Can you try another target folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe777 7 Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Of course the target file exists..... they all do ! I am trying to restore a backup, so the all the current xml, exe and cfg files in various locations, will need to be oferwritten by the backed up files...... come on, the logic is pretty straightforward. If the target file did not exist, my installation would really be messed up ! My p3d.cfg or addon.xml file is corrupt, do I restore a backup...... these corrupt files need to be replaced....with the backed up versions. So of course those target files are already there..... so why the error message ? Or doesn't the backup utility actually backup these files ? In which case, it is rather misleading.

Developer Capt. PERO 398 Posted May 26, 2019 Developer Share Posted May 26, 2019 Really strange. Did you started NG as Administrator? This is the first complaint I got for SimConfigBackup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
