Help Please!
This is what happened:
I successfully made a library backup from one tablet via MS Companion Pro, resulting in a plausible 8.7 GB msb file (= 1500 pdf with a mp3 each).
Then wanted to restore this backup on another tablet (exact same model, Samsung 12.2), trying to update an older MS database there.
I deleted all related files from that second tablet (via File Explorer).
Both tablets have MS (green), not MSP yet.
I started restore library, with the settings "Restore to default location", unchecked "delete all existing files..." (as they're gone already).
The tablet immediately showed this:
"The backup file seems to be invalid'
"Then ' Error: invalid message received from PC. Ignoring message."
Still, the transfer progress bar eventually began to show a sign of life, incredibly slowly though.
The original backup took ~ 1hour, which was good.
My estimate for the restoring action, judging from the completion % was 12-14 hours. Not good.
At 7% the backup failed, the devices lost connection.
I watched during the first hour whether any files would show in the folder "com.zubersoft.mobilesheets/files", but it remained empty.
Are 8.9 GB too large?
Does MSCP produce a backup from MS (green) that can´t be played back to MS?
Following the laws of catastrophy, a gig is coming up in three days, and the first tablet (with the full working DB) is, by now, 1000 miles away from me.
I should know these songs by heart...
THANKS!
Ben
