@Philippe, The plugin asks Lightroom where its configuration base directory is so there shouldn’t be a need to configure this. Lightroom should know where it is reading its configuration from. Are you saying this isn’t working on your system? Are you storing your presets with your catalog or using the default setting (storing presets centrally)?

@Cliff, Just confirming the results of our testing. The plugin functions properly on Vista and Lightroom 64 bit. I will be improving directory validation in the dialog, to prevent users from setting the compressed directory to be a child of the directory being backed up. Also will be adding some “plain English” error codes so users can now what the zip program was complaining about.

@Cliff, I’m pretty sure Sean (one of the first users of the plugin) is using 64bit Vista because we originally thought one of his issues related to that. Its working OK for him so I believe it should work OK on Vista 64 bit.

The issues you are describing haven’t been reported before. Out of curiosity are you using LR2.4? There have been some reports of issues with plugins installed using this version. Can you please try uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin to see if that helps? I know it sounds trite but it really did help one of my colleagues when plugins misbehaved soon after installation.

UPDATE: It has been confirmed that some Config Backup users are successfully backing up with 64-bit Vista and 64-bit Lightroom (2.3). Will keep looking into the issue though.

Does Config Backup work with LR 64bit on Vista 64bit?
Seeing some strange behavior. Had a directory of 58 backups done by LR, after compression I have two compressed files.
The config backup directory is another issue. I create one or not but when plug-in runs there is one that is set with an unknown owner, and I can’t access it, but gets deleted along with contents if there were any when LR is exited.
