Hi, the component installed fine, but when I start ir running I get this error

 

There was an error retreiving the JSON data from the server, try again or contact the developers!

Details: parsererror -- Invalid JSON: TAR error: Unable to open file '_vti_pvt/service.pwd' in binary read mode
{"backupSize":"31251456","percent":"1","option":"com_cloner","task":"refresh","json":"1","startf":100,"lines":"5443","backup":"backup_2011-02-18_20-45_personalisedfitness.co.uk-sql-nodrop.tar","excl_manual":""}

JSON url: index2.php?option=com_cloner&lines=5443&task=refresh&backup=backup_2011-02-18_20-45_personalisedfitness.co.uk-sql-nodrop.tar&excl_manual=

HI there! It seems the _vti_pvt/service.pwd file is unreadable by the XCloner, you will need to exclude it from your backup, then try again. I would advise excluding the whole folder as there might be some other files inside with the same issue.

You are a star! Thanks for the prompt reply. That seems to do the trick.
