I will go back to BB2 during Christmas vacation, I was have decent luck with BB4 but the last 4 or so releases has hurt my Amiga's performance/stability for sure...


Can you be more specific? You are running V1.29? The last few releases have been mostly bug fixes, so I am not sure why any recent release would be worse for performance/stability than an older release. Unless icon.library has slowed down recently, but I don't see any difference in performance here.

When I run ABackup it crashes whenever I select preferences.  Sometimes it simply locks up.  Other times it will throw amigaguide.library errors, sometimes ramlib errors.  Sometimes it takes a few times selecting preference and quiting.  If I go to my 4000D running a real old BB4, it works perfect.


I installed ABackup 5.22 from Aminet in an attempt to isolate the cause. The program and its Preferences are running fine here on my BB4 1.29 system, I cannot reproduce the problem. Therefore there may be some other cause for the issue you are having. ie. some other difference between your two machines other than the fact that they are running different BB4 versions.

Using old versions of BB4 is not something I would recommend as frankly there were quite a few bugs in those which have since been fixed.
