Well I tried again, following all instructions to the letter and it is exactly the same.

Messages are below. Do you think its related to compression? Should I try it without compression?

BTW the "file not found" is incredible annoying because it only happens after CloneApp.exe deletes the .ini file. The file is there, but the minute you try the Restore process, CloneApp deletes the file immediately, then right after that informs you that there is no file.

"====================== CloneApp - Restore process - Tuesday, December 3, 2019 =========================

Well dang I thought I did but I didn't read properly. "User procedure error!"
I read 'move the backup folder' not the whole CloneApp folder. I also mis-read the user-rename instructions which I saw in the normal documentation... I may also have that problem (I'll need to check what usernames are...) I'll go and try and do it properly now! Thanks Belim!

Hi jaysee,

did you take a look in this FAQ entry https://www.getclone.app/faqs?faqid=8

Hi Jeff,

you have to options here.
1. Perform the restore separately for each application by selecting App > Restore
2. Set the boolean status in cloneapp2.ini, section [Plug-ins], key "Status=0;" or "Status=1", where 0 means it is disabled for restoration. Of course this could be a bit tedious, since CloneApp stores in the newer versions every Plug-in setting in a boolean value and not after application name.

Hi Jeff,

1. Currently not possible without using an external command, e.g. Robocopy
2. Use the semi-colon (;)

Hi,

this is already known to the developer Nirsoft and has already been communicated by him. Read here https://www.nirsoft.net/false_positive_report.html

"Sometimes Antivirus scanner reports that a program is infected with a Virus or Trojan, even when the program is not really infected with any malicious code. This kind of problem is known as "False Positive" or "False Alert", and it's quite a common problem in some of the password recovery tools provided in NirSoft Web site."

Hi,

I don't quite understand your question. Why is the Firefox profile in the second example located in the CloneApp folder?

If you want to backup the default Firefox Profile folder, you could use this line of code
File1=BackupFolder|$FirefoxProfile$

instead of backing up the whole Profile directory (which could indeed preserve all available Profiles)

Hi,

that is always welcome :)

Please upload it as attachement in the comments function or send it to me via mail contact@getclone.app

Many thanks!

Yes this is exactly right. Same thing
- Backup goes fine. Backup folder on Desktop. Copy to new PC Desktop. (fine)
- Open CloneApp on Target (fine)
- Click Restore, get "Backup xxxxx has been found do you want to?". Click YES
- Error popup: "CloneApp - Plug-in could not be executed - Error while loading application".
- Click OK. Get "Restore process stopped - Restoration settings could not be loaded... do you want to select..."
- Click YES. Find .ini file inside Desktop Backup folder. Click OPEN.
- Error popup - same one again: "CloneApp - Plug-in could not be executed - Error while loading application".
- Except this time CloneApp has deleted the coneapp2.ini file. Its gone missing. Totally disappeared.

Would really like to see answer to this? Is this bug or procedure error on my side or data problem or Windows permissions problem? Program looks cool but seems totally broken to me?

I copied everything to my server and of course did not read the instructions on how to perform a restore. It prompted me for the restoration file and same thing happened as above the restoration disappeared. Do you have a app to regenerate the restoration file?

Thanks for that, I've changed Unix (LF) to Windows (CRLF) in Notepad++ and shorted the truncaded strings. I'll upload the new translation soon.

Hi Igor,

if its included to bin\packages directory as .INI file it should work. Please make also sure addding the core section [frmMain] and afterwards the translated strings. Maybe you could upload your translation here in in the forum and i'll take a look on it.

Belim
