Schlagwort: Smart Backup

Welcome to the New Broken World! This song is dedicated to Gigabyte for one of the best Control Center updates ever, that „made my day“ 😅

After several times of installing the new „Smart Backup“ software through „Gigabyte Control Center„, it seems that this update cannot be installed or it is not removed from the list of updates.
This shows me that my suggestion in my earlier post was right: the updates of Gigabyte by the desktop application „Gigabyte Control Center“ for the Mainboards are not tested well or at all!
You can watch the screenshots and log-content at the end of the following song lyrics:
🎵 Bugging in the Wind – (to the tune of „Blowin’ in the Wind“)

by Pedram GANJEH-HADIDI (with ❤️ for Gigabyte.cn )

Verse 1
How many times must a man install
That „Smart Backup“ from Control Center,
Before it stops showing in the list
Like some cursed undead presenter?
And how many logs must be born each day
To tell you: download.gigabyte.cn went away?

🎶 The answer, my friend, is bugging in the wind,
The answer is bugging in the wind.

Verse 2
How many pings must a poor PC send
Before DNS gets a clue?
How many updates just loop forever,
With version numbers déjà vu?
And how many times will the error shout:
„ERROE – Connection timed out!“

🎶 The answer, my friend, is bugging in the wind,
The answer is bugging in the wind.

Verse 3
How many gigs must we waste on files
That never even launch right?
How many tools must one app install
To still be dumb overnight?
And how many „fixes“ just break more things
While pretending the devs are bright?

🎶 The answer, my friend, is bugging in the wind,
The answer is bugging in the wind.

Verse 4
How many times can support reply
With „Please reboot and pray“?
How many days will the logs stay quiet
While updates still misbehave?
And how many souls must scream in vain
Till Gigabyte learns to debug pain?

🎶 The answer, my friend, is bugging in the wind,
The answer is bugging in the wind.

Gigabyte Control Center Smart Backup update while installation
Gigabyte Control Center while installing the „Smart Backup“ update
Gigabyte Control Center Smart Backup update after several installations and PC reboots
After several installations an reboot of the PC the entry for „Smart Backup“ with the same version is not removed!
Gigabyte Control Center Smart Backup update - there is no logfile with the timestamp of today 24th of April 2025
There should be two logfiles with following names „log_20250423.log“ and „log_20250424.log“ since I installed the „Smart Backup“ yesterday and today 24th April 2025!

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the content of the latest logfile:

[ 2024-05-04 08:40:04 ] GvLoader  ERROE  DownLoadDB fail:Der Remotename konnte nicht aufgelöst werden: 'mb.download.gigabyte.cn'
[ 2024-05-04 08:40:04 ] GvLoader  INFO  DownLoadIni fail

I hope they don’t f…. up the firmware of my motherboard (mainboard) with their untested, not-working updates 😅🙏🤲📿
