I've been using the backup control ver. 1.0.102.0 for several years and like it. My problem is that if my users restore from a flash drive that is assigned a different letter than the one on the box used to back up I'm popping the above error.

I found the following in the documentation:

The Xceed Backup Library automatically knows where to find backups because the backup file locations are stored in the catalog files generated during the backup. When a backup file is not found in the location indicated by the catalogs, the BackupFileNotFound event occurs, giving you the chance to tell the Xceed Backup Library another location where it can find the backup file(s). If the library still cannot find the backup files, this error will then occur.

My question is how to do this. I'd be grateful for a VB 6 code snippet to use as an example.

Thanks

Unfortunately, there is no "built-in" way to re-route the old path (the drive letter) to the new one. A workaround for this would be to test if the file path exists before calling the restore on the file in question. You could use a function like this one:

The FileExists function:
<code>
Public Function FileExists(sFullPath As String) As Boolean
Dim oFile As New Scripting.FileSystemObject
FileExists = oFile.FileExists(sFullPath)
End Function
</code>

Thanks for the reply. Well according to the documentation there was a way to do it so I kept looking. When the error is raised it actually triggers an event in the Backup control: BackupFileNotFound. I was able to sucessfully re-route the path there.

Thanks.
