Here's a thought - have you tried running the UI from another terminal (pointing to the same servers)?
If it still crashes, then we know the problem relates to something server-side and if it doesn't then it's something with the UI on certain hardware/software.
That's the issue with the Windows Server 2003 UI crashing - it points to the same groups and servers. / comments

I used "Unlocker 1.8.7" and right-clicked each of the 1.dat, 2.dat, 3.dat and localDataCache.dat files. None of them has a locking handle and the SQL Backup UI is running - I haven't expanded any server group as instructed.
Email of local....dat incoming. / comments

Well, 3 1/2 weeks later and I now have NO working SQL Backup!
I open the UI, get the "Upgrade the cache..." dialog, try EITHER the "Now" or the "Later" option and OK it, then I get to see the main window but either by just waiting or trying to expand a Group the UI dies without a message or exception - POOF!
I have deleted the Server cache files under \Server Data from C:\Documents and Settings\<<user>>\Local Settings\Application Data\Red Gate\SQL Backup
In the \SQL Backup folder there is a lockfile.pid 0KB file that's locked by some process or other. It is dated 1/11/2008... Should I attempt to unlock it and whack it? I AM DEAD IN THE WATER! / comments

Added a new node for the key, then added the value. Ran UI and predicatably it died.
Location of the log file(s) you need? / comments

I just upgraded the fallback server (Windows Server 2003 SP2) and I can expand and contract ALL Groups and Servers at will with ZERO crashes. By "at will", I mean "going crazy expanding, forcing refresh, collapsing, expanding in a different sequence" a.k.a. "DIE YOU DOG!" and it wouldn't die [image]
This leads me to believe that the Servers are fine and that the problem lies with the UI... Laptop is Windows XP Pro SP3 with every Windows Update applied as of this morning - BEFORE the latest reboot and crash sequence.
Any log files I can send, or anything I can run for you to capture activity? - more than happy to do so... Please don't forget the upgrade issues where it says the server upgrade is OK but the version comparison fails. / comments

Anu, I followed your instructions to the letter. Crash, and Crash - both the "Full" and "Unable to open" occurred in succession.
Brian, when you say "server", I wonder which of the 8 you mean - all of them!? It doesn't seem to matter whether I expand the Production group first or the Virtuals, whichever is done second provokes the crash.
SQLBackup GUI is installed on my laptop and one other server. The GUI hasn't been used on that server in at least 3 months as it's a fallback install. Server components are on the monitored servers, including the server where the GUI is installed. Which .Net do I need - as in, is 3.5 the correct version to have to install up to? And, as we are DBA-challenged, what is the effect of the .Net install as in, will the clusters need rebooting, what other effects are there? Risk is not something I want to entertain right now. / comments

I guess that's a change from when I tried Custom Aliases of the same alias for different tables and bumped into a dialog box preventing the addition... can't recall which v3 release that was but it used to be an issue. Guess "I'm missing something here" :oops:
Thanks for thinking about posting the enhancement list... / comments
