Server Edition Down

This seems relevant: Manage application data folder contents | Manager

What are the contents of the 0000…000.manager file if you open it in a plain text editor like Notepad?

It was probably 1803 to 1809 Windows Update.
This is why data is never stored in Windows Folder. Move it to some other folder and use it from there.

Copy from here:
C:\Windows.old\WINDOWS\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Manager

To here:
C:\Windows\WINDOWS\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Manager

As an immediate fix. A more permanent fix would be:

Would the Cloud edition be a better fit for you?

The Server edition is for people who have the competency to install, administer and manage server-based applications including backups

Or else make sure you gain sufficient knowledge about Windows & servers based applications to ensure that backups are taken regularly and stored in a safe place ie not on the server

Agreed completely with @Joe91.

Other benefits of Cloud Edition that you (@premier1) may be interested in:

  • Access your accounting system from any device, online.
  • Automatically kept up-to-date, so you get the latest and greatest features without any extra effort.

You should still take regular backups though, even on Cloud Edition. All that involves is a button click.

well in short if you’re not ready to be sysadmin. Be paid user the vendor will do it for you. You can try duplicati or synchthing (combo with this Automatic backups script for Windows) as your alternative backup. If I were you, stick with linux as headless server, because windows now force update without your consent to say ‘no’ unless you mod it with custom windows os.

Ask me anything related to how to run Manager on docker with OMV os. I answer for you, since I’m using it right now. and access it using windows 10.

I am afraid I will have to disappoint you for two reasons: first what is unreliable here is windows, not Manager and second YOU SHOULD ALWAYS KEEP A 3 -2 -1 backup: 3 versions, in 2 different media and the 1 offsite :slight_smile: By the way I would NEVER run Manager Server on Windows !!! I hope this helps you in the future…
