I ended up rebooting the machine and that seemed to have fixed it. I thought I posted that somewhere.

Hi Nick,
I would recommend, firstly, manually uninstalling SQL Backup 5.x from the servers that you want to upgrade using Windows add/remove programs, then run the SQBServerSetup.exe from the SQL Backup 6 installation directory manually on the server.
As far as I can tell, the mutex used in version 6 is no longer "Global", so I would assume that the SQL Backup Agent Service on this instance is still version 5.
When running SQBServerSetup, I believe that you include the instance name in the command, ie: SQBServerSetup.exe /I "MyInstance".

Figured out the filter switch like you suggested, i.e. create a filter file via the UI and then reference it with the /filter: switch.
However, that hardcodes and XML filter file with specific search criteria. I want my criteria parameterized, not hardcoded. In other words, I can't create a filter file for a every different flavor of a parameter I might encounter -- I simply don't know what all the parameters are in advance.
Part of my confusion is why I would need the /filter: statement at all. The documentation on include/exclude states that the parameters for these switches are regular expressions:
/include:<object type>:<regular expression>
Thanks in advance,
Nick

One more question. You reference the /filter: switch. I see it referenced on the command line when I type sqlcompare /? but I don't see any examples about how to use it on the online docs.
Do you have any documentation on how to use the /filter: switch?
Thanks,
Nick
