Thanks again, Chris.

My process for jumping between these versions is:
1. Stop service. net stop boxbackup
2. Remove service. bbackupd -r
2b. Check to make sure bbackupd process is not still running.
3. Rename 3 bb*.exe files from current/old BB version to bb*_old.exe
4. Copy in 3 bb.exe files from new BB version. Not touching .conf, .dlls or others.
5. Install service. bbackupd -i <.conf file> (full path to .conf file, in quotes; necessity
depends on version).
6. Start service. net start boxbackup

Yes, and yes. We had the service running as DOMAIN\Admin, though.

Good idea. We'll try that and report back.
Thanks,
Pete
