Backup and sync playing up


Userlevel 3
Just noticed that Backup has failed to back up anything from 29/Sept /15
Console shows both backup and sync switches are at the off position and are unresponsive.
with error code 10 showing
Mosty of my stuff is in the "anywhere folder" but it won't open from the sys tray nor the console, but accessible through the Home login.
Any help please

The UI still shows me as correclty logged in, everything green, all looks correct EXCEPT the Backup and Sync sliders. They are both off and cannot be turned on.

The backup & sync service shows in green, so there's no backend outage that could be causing this. Let's see what support finds on your system. Meanwhile I'm going to check mine to see how it is looking.

Let us know how yours acts.  My system is acting same as the OP's, so it does not appear to be something in just one computer.

Just heard from support folks that they've seen a couple of these crop up and usually an uninstall and reinstall takes care of the problem and lets you log in again.

Roadhog, 
 
Follow the directions for a clean install I just posted above.  I did it, and it fixed the issue for me.

LOL, you are most welcome!  I do not know how big the issue is, hopefully not too many of us are affected by it.  I really don't know if it is any faster.. the only portion I am using right now is the AnyWhere folder.  I just re-isntalled Windows and everything else a few days ago, and have not set up other backups yet as I am not done with getting things the way I like them.
 
 
Had this happen to me last week with same error code. Switches for protection would turn on then off right away. All I did was right click the Webroot icon down by the clock and choose "shut down protection" and entered the captcha. Turned back on right away and everything was cool.

Now that is very interesting.  It might be the same, it might be just a bit different, I am not really sure.  On mine today, I wasn't able to slide the switch to on at all.  
 
If I see it again, on my computer or another post here, I will try the shut down protection, restart it, and see what happens.
 
Thank you for the insight!
