Hi Peter

I had problems deleting the old .exe files too. But especially on 2003 
server, I eventually
had to rename the folder containing the files before I could delete them.
Thanks for the tip of using cygwin, I will try that next time.

I first stopped the service, removed the service, and renamed or deleted all the .exe's and .dll's, before extracting your .zip.  It just completed a 22 minute upload cycle without the pcreposix.dll with no reported problems.  Is there a good specific test I should run?

Eventually bbackupd.exe deleted, but I'm still waiting for bbackupquery.exe to be able to be deleted.  Weird. Also weird is the error message has the filename as it was before I renamed it, not matching what I'm looking at in Windows Explorer.
