NTI Shadow problems

Hi,

I seem to have the same problem that many people have with the NTI Shadow software that came wth my duo 2110
I get loads of erros indicating the files are open and therefore can not be copied. These files are not open and are just loads of image files.

My OS is Windows 7 64 bit.

I read in this forum that there may be a version that will work on the sweden site.
Has anyone got the link to this ?

Thanks for any help.

Phil.

  • The version of NTI Shadow including on the Duo setup CD is NOT compatible with Win 7. Netgear does not offer a Win7 solution for buyers of the Duo/NV+.

    My recommendation would be to purchase a copy of Syncback+ or Pro. Its far more capable than NTI Shadow could ever dream of and for a very reasonable price you get a license to install on up to 5 PC for HOME use. http://www.2brightsparks.com/help/index ... article=27
  • Hi, the only problem with NTI Shadow 4 i have is that it frequently slows down. How is it possible to fix?

    Shadow is not a well written app. Simplify your life and change to a better backup app. Also one that supports copying open/in use files which will improve reliability of your backups. I like to keep it simple and use apps that have a good reputation and have proven themselves time and time again. Also apps that aren't as big as an operating system!

    Look at Syncback SE or Pro. A little cumbersome to setup, but worth it. They just released V6 which may have a better setup wizard. Haven't jumped on board yet.
