Backup File Type Missing The 'ql'

[valk97_goose]

When using the Schedule backup routine, the resulting file name should be backup.sql but what I get is backup.s there is 'ql' missing. Anyone else getting this problem?

Thanks…

Not here. I get exactly “backup.sql” if that is what I request!

What does the

[valk97_goose]

The .xml file does have the extension .sql

I will try installing the software again and see if it works…

Thanks

Found the problem…

The save file path was just too long for the application to handle, not sure why?

I Setup the save file path to a folder under c: rather than a My Documents folder and all worked fine. Looks like there is a limit in the size of the path statement…

I would like to test if it is a bug with sja.exe, or a character buffer limitation on your system (or windows as such). BTW: which windows version are you running?

Can you reconstruct how many characters you had before? 128? 256?

Since exactly two characters were thrown away you must have been very close at the limit. Actually limit + 2!

Could you try a copy statement from commandline like

“Copy myfile.sql yourverylongpathinthexmlfilebeforemyfile.sql

It also could be a possibility that there was an end of string encoding character sequence or just an unprintable character (illegal in filenames) between 's' and 'q'
