Best ICQ backup?

[GT98]

Any have a suggestion for a backup program for ICQ2001B? I've run into problems with the database being locked when I go to convert the database.

Thanks

Best idea? Don't use ICQ. Use Trillian. It be much more better.

Scott,

You can backup your ICQ list with <a href="http://www.headstrong.de/">ICQr</a>.

Isn't a backup of the icq database just taking a copy of the folder ICQ\2000b ?

(perhaps I'm missing the complexity of the issue.... )

There is a problem with this guys, he's using ICQ2001B or has been using that one. You can't switch to Trillian when your present ICQ is 2001B, for it doesn't store your database locally, but on the ICQ server. No programs can backup the database then either, Mike

So Scott, your option would be to un-install ICQ2001B, discard all the data that you had until that time, re-install ICQ 2000B and make it work, install everyone that you installed since you went to 2001B and then switch over to Trillian 0.7

I've been there, I've done that
And Trillian works great... when you don't hide your container... ahum... lol

'Cuz he didn't know how to unhide it until this afternoon.

Only by deleting the whole container in talk.ini can you get a suddenly hidden container back. But if you, Gurm, know of another way, please tell me

I'll work on the how to setup Trillian. Is the least I can do
