Bug 468191

First, 5.0.6 is really old.  Please try a more recent version - 5.1.3 is current.
For your problem, what happens if you do not tick the box to mount the backup  directory?  Where are you trying to back up the file?  To a local directory or a network share?
For your last question, yes, simply making a copy of the .kmy file is all a backup does, so that is sufficient - but you should use some naming convention so each backup does not simply overwrite the previous one.
Let us know if any of this helps.

That's cool.thanks for the feedback, if backing up manually works, I can
deal with that.

I'll check for an update and see if it Corrects the problem but to answer
your question, I'm just saving to a local drive - either the same
filesystem or another physical drive in the same chassis.

Appreciate the rapid response .

Guy,

Please do let us know if the current version (5.1.3) works ok or if we still have some digging to do on Windows.  Particularly - without ticking the "mount" checkbox.

Thanks.

I installed the latest and it seems to have backed up the data.
