Backup failure with pcsdk

I use the following codes to do the backup:

controller.Backup( “TempBackup”);
// Wait for the backup to be completed
while (controller.BackupInProgress) ;

It throws out the following errors:

Does anyone have such problem?

Have you tried performing an I-start and then reloading everything from a backup? Beware, I-Start will completely remove system parameters and RAPID programs so be sure to make a backup before you do this so you can restore everything back to its original state.

I can’t do this action.The robot is running with jobs.
After our debuging ,we found the the " while (controller.BackupInProgress) ;" is the problem maker.Actully ,the backup action goes successfully,we can get all the backup files.The above error information was thrown when runing the code " while (controller.BackupInProgress) ;". The purpose we use this code is to determine whether the backup action was finished,is any other method we can take?
Thanks a lot.

You can trigger an event if the backup is successfull.

Here is an example from my program.

(c is controller object)
c.BackupCompleted += new EventHandler<BackupEventArgs>(aController_BackupCompleted);
c.Backup(DIR_BACKUP_CTRL);

        private static async void aController_BackupCompleted(object sender, ABB.Robotics.Controllers.BackupEventArgs e)
        {
            if (!e.Succeeded) {
                //Backup failed
            }
            else {
               //Backup complete
            }
        }

Goodluck with your program.
