Toucan

Toucan installs and runs fine from within any account (admin or limited).

However, on an winXP pro machine with multiple users, I installed toucan from an admin account to c:\windows\program files\toucan. Then I logged off and logged into a limited user account. When I run toucan from the same location it gave several file access errors saying it cannot access configuration file.

It would be more helpful if the error message shows the full path of the file in question.

What would be an appropriate script to run each weekday such that every Monday's backup goes into //foo/backup/weekday??

Doesn't matter if it is zip files or whatever...but the folder name has to be the weekday or even the backup date/time which would be even better...

Thank you, Tom

Hello.

Sorry my english!!

I have a problem decrypting files.

I encrypt files using this password: 12345678.
I try to decrypt using WRONG password: 11111111.
The program look like is decrypting, and the file modification date is changed.
Obviusly the file doesn´t work.
I try to decript again using the correct password.
The program look like is decrypting, and the file modification date is changed.
The files doesn´t work.

So i think that if you try to decrypt one time with a wrong password, you corrupt the file.

I have important files with this problem.

This is probably an XP question, but it is driving me crazy. I install programs as admin and run them in user accounts. Toucan is the first program I have encountered where this fails. I get "failed to update user configuration file" when it starts and ends, so I can't save any jobs. I had installed in Program Files, but moved everything to Shared Documents/Shared programs, as I thought the location might be a problem. Then I went into the Toucan directory and TRIED to turn off read-only on all files and folders. Best I can tell, XP let me make the files read/write, not the folders.

I'm very new to Toucan, but when I try to encrypt a file (open toucan, go to the secure tab, add a file, check encrypt and click OK) I always get an error message: "failed to encrypt ...name of the file..."
The file is not changed at all by toucan.

The file is available for me to read/modify/save if I open it with notepad for example.
No other program is using the file when toucan tries to access it.

I'm on WinXP SP2 (user with admin rights).

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

I still use an old DOS based database (DataPerfect) because it is simple and WORKS, however Tucan seems to ignore its data files when updating my backup. Is there anything that can be done to avoid this?

When attempting to copy a certain file from source to destination, Toucan (Pre-Release v2.1.2) completed without taking any action (didn't copy). In v2.0.7, I can copy from source to destination fine, even if the same file existed in the source and destination.

There is a new version of Ccrypt out and I thought this would be useful to know since it contains the following in the release notes.

v2.1.1, under the Sync tab, does not update my files. However, v2.0.7 updates just fine, under Mirror(Update).

As a side-note. If 'Copy' copies from source to destination, and 'Mirror' makes an exact copy, what is the difference?

In v.2.1.1, I can't see the full Job Name from the drop down menu, under the Sync tab. Thankfully, the header (or whatever the text that appears on the top bar, next to the logo, is called) spells out the full Job Name. If I were to rely on the drop down, though, I would have to guess and check.
