pcsoft.us.windevCopyright 2026, PC SOFT4 Nov 2015 22:39:00 Z4 Nov 2015 07:06:00 ZHello All I use the Windev zip process to make copies of the .fic and .mmo files for my applications. The code is quite straightfoward. sBackupFileList = fListFile(CompleteDir(fCurrentDir())+"*.fic",frNotRecursive) zipAddFileList(GArchiveName,sBackupFileList) A client has reported that the last couple of times they ran the process, it took at least twice as long as usual to run. The zip file is about the same size as normal, the computer hasn't changed, its a stand alone client so there are no network issues - the data being backed up is on the same drive as the archive is being created on - and the hard disk has plenty of spare space. Does anyone have any thoughts as to the cause please ?
