You state that NG and a different unnamed (why?) software does somthing
wrong when reading and backing up FB 2.5 program files.
OK, noone is disputing that!
But how to find out what's going on, to be able to fix it? What do you
really expect FB developers to do with this info? They have no means of
analysing what happens, since they cannot trace, step or otherwise debug
the program that's actually running when things go wrong.
You've stated yourself that FB IS NOT RUNNING at the time. This implies
that it's not FB code that's wrong. Tracing and debugging FB code is
pointless, since when the problem occurs, the FB code is not really
being executed at all. It's used as data by a backup program. The code
being executed is the backup program's code, and that's the code that
has to be debugged BY THOSE WHO WROTE IT, i.e. Symantec för NG and
who-knows for the other anonymous software.
cannot be th FB code that should be fixed, since it's not being executed
at the time. Note: if FB code IS being executed at the time, then the
backup software is doing something REALLY WEIRD!!! Why on earth would
backup software execute the program files it's backing up? Seems VERY
DANGEROUS and TOTALLY USELESS and that fact in itself would be enough
for me to purpopsefully make sure I never let that backup software
anywhere near my computer or any other computer I have any influence
over whatsoever. I would BAN such software without hesitation.
