Project Cloud Backup - Composer HE Crashes


Recommended Posts

Every time I try to do a cloud backup with my new system, Composer HE crashes on me and generates a log file.  I have pasted the error message below.  I am able to do a local backup to my hard drive, but cloud backups seem like a good idea.

Anyone see this before?

So I was able to figure out another way to create cloud backups.  If I go into the Backup section under Agents, I can force a "Save and Backup Now" and that seems to work perfectly.  Also the scheduled backups work too.  Does this method create the same type of backup as "File - Backup to Cloud"?  If so, then I have an alternate method that works perfectly.  Just wish I new why the file menu command crashes HE each time.

On other note, how can I connect to my system "off site"?  When I load HE I get an option to do a remote connection and can log in fine with my Control4 credentials, but then what do I "add" to the list to connect to my system?  Not sure what account name to use.

Thanks,

Dino

My system does this, too. I always back up locally (manually) because HE crashes anytime I do it the way you did. I'll have to try the programmed backups and see if they work for me as well. Glad I'm not the only one with this problem.

Thanks guys for the feedback.  Good to know I'm not the only one.

So nightly backups are OK?  How many backups does the cloud support?  Does it keep only the last several ones?

Hi rea are you using Parallels on a Mac by chance?  I am, so I’ve been wondering if that is the root cause of the crashes. 

I am using Parallels. That's a good thought and would be interesting to know if that's what is causing our issue.
