Talal Posts: 1 Rating: (0)	Dear Members I am unable to archive my PCS7 project successfully. The error I am getting and its suggested solution in Help is attached for the reference. Kindly help. The version of PCS7 is 7.0 SP3. The backup starts smoothly but halts after some time giving the following error: "Unable to create the Archive file. The destination directory might be write protected or it may not exist". Thanks Talal Attachment Backup Error Help Message.JPG (542 Downloads)

After Stopping SQL you have the same error message? Did you go to Options -> Customize -> and deactivate 'Generate Archive Path Automatically'? Do you have enough hard drive space for archive? When was the last time you were able to make an archive? Are other multiprojects on the ES able to be archived?

The following virus scanners are relased fot this version of PCS7: Symantec Endpoint Protection V12.1.5 Symantec Endpoint Protection V12.1.6 McAfee VirusScan Enterprise V8.7i McAfee VirusScan Enterprise V8.8 Trend MICRO OfficeScan Client-Server Suite V10.0 Trend MICRO OfficeScan V8.0 Trend MICRO OfficeScan V10.5 Trend MICRO OfficeScan V10.6 Trend MICRO OfficeScan V11.0 Trend Micro Enterprise Security v10.x for Endpoints V10.6 Regards Georg Berghof
