BBuddy has stopped backing up my 256Meg SD card. The card functions fine in the T3 and the configuration is also correct for BBuddy. Any suggestions as to why it stopped backing up the card or how to fix the issue would be appreciated. Thank you...

Clieman,

How's about sharing the informational wealth?

What is the sync file? How does one get it / install it / etc?
Having my own problems i.e. the backup process using Right BackUp fm StandAlone stopped on a file that shouldn't be a problem - other files fm same app were backed up properly.

Please, anybody - jump in.

Also, check out Backupman:

This is fantastic for backing up your Palm to card, also has a Schedule option!

BackupBuddy comes with an app called CardSync. This must be in RAM for BB to backup the card. Yours may have been deleted by mistake. Just sync CardSync back to your device and all will be fine.

I tried Backupman, but it only does a complete backup every time--no differential/incremental or selective backups like BBVFS. That can take a lot of time every day. BBVFS can also be scheduled.


Edit due to misstatement too early in the morning.

I'm trying/using BackupBuddyVFS 2.15, it's been backing up without any problems, but I checked for the app you mentioned, CardSync, and I don't see it anywhere on my T3. (?)

I don't have it on my TE either. Backup Buddy has been working flawlessly without it. It wasn't included in the .zip file from BlueNomad.

I'm not sure, but I think TankerBob means that BackupBuddy comes with the CardSync file. When you purchase BB from Blue Nomad, a complimentary copy of BBVFS is included.

BackupBuddyVFS, purchased by itself, however, does not include the CardSync file. (At least mine didn't.)

Thanks for the clarification! :)

Duh, I said BBVFS when I meant BackupBuddy on the desktop. Must have been too early in the morning...I fixed it so that later searches don't confuse anyone. Sorry about the misstatement.

And thank you Tanker Bob for that clarification.
