Software Update: Karen’s Replicator 3.3

Karen Kenworthy has just updated her backup program Karen’s Replicator to version 3.3. With this free program, files, folders or entire drives can be backed up to another location within the computer or on a network drive. Karen’s Replicator has everything you would expect from a backup program; extensive scheduling options, backing up only changed files, and deleted files are also taken into account. Below are all the changes since the last entry in the muck tracker:

Version 3.3

• Activated “Global Exclusions” feature, which allows you to specify folders and files that will be skipped by all jobs.
• Also fixed display bug that obscured the progress bars when a job was run via a command line parameter (including those in shortcuts).

Version 3.2.6

• More changes to fixed remaining “Error 5 – Access Denied” problems.
• Also fixed problem that prevented update of one or two progress bars while job is running.

Version 3.2.5

• I think I’ve finally fixed an elusive bug that caused some jobs to fail with “Error 5 – Access Denied” when the job copied from a folder on a local disk, to a folder on a network disk specified using a UNC-style file name (\\Server\Share\…).
• Also added option in Other Settings to automatically start the Replicator when any user logs on, or only when a particular user logs on (previously, the auto-start feature only worked for a particular user).

Version 3.2.4

• Fixed bug that could cause a system to run out of “Paged Pool Memory” (Windows error 1450) if tens of thousands of folders were copied.

Version 3.2.3

• Fixed bug that caused file copies on some systems running Windows 9x or Windows ME to fail with “error 13 invalid data”.

Version 3.2.2

• Fixed bug that caused program to hang if a job was scheduled to run automatically, but the schedule options excluded all seven days in a week.

Version 3.2.1

• Fixed bug that prevented program from deleting folders, when “Replicate File and Folder Deletions” option was selected.
