Did you create a virtual device that you want to use to track backup status? If you have one, try entering the RefID for that device in the Options field. Or create a new one.Mike____________________________________________________________ __________________

You could try restarting the plug-in and/or restarting HS. If neither of those fix the problem, you need to ask your question on Bob's (Blade's) site: http://www.bladeplugins.com/Mike____________________________________________________________ __________________

Originally posted by dannieboiz View PostI never changed that, mine just says q1. leaving it blank and restarting HS3 doesn't change it
Originally posted by dannieboiz View Postit's weird, I created a new VD change the RefID in BLBackup, then manually ran the backup, now both devices are having similar updates.
While it won't cause any problems, the virtual device is not setup correctly. Per the help[ file:- User can configure a device code for each backup directory to keep track of the status of the backup for the directory. The device values are as follows:
- 0 - Fail
- 1 - Success
- 2 - In Progress

To clear it up for everyone... I reported that both devices are updating when I noticed the status on both devices. My last response is after I recognize that both devices weren't update, it's correctly updating the device now. So the original solution does work. However, the old (incorrect) device that has the status did not clear.
I'm not sure exactly how or what Uncle Michael solution is done but it sounds like to null the device is to clear it? If that's the case then this is the solution.
Here's the new VD I created and it's updating perfectly.
Here's the option for BLBackup that's in question, it matches the VD
and here's the device that trigger the original post, noticed the Last backup has not updated since I made the change. So changing the Ref ID works. Just need to clear status to make it look normal. It's all cosmetic at this point.

To reset string you can use a script as Mike suggests in the control panel enter &hs.SetDeviceString(nnnn, "", True) replacing nnnn with the RefID of the device or create a manually triggered Event controlling the device with the string you want to clear.
Click on the red airplane if it is there, then as it shows in the Event Set Device String to: Clear
Run the Event and the string is cleared. Delete the Event.HS4 Pro, 4.2.19.0 Windows 10 pro, Supermicro LP Xeon
