Trouble-Shooting |
Backup email reports
If you are not receiving a back up report emailed to you after your backup schedule, you should:
- Check your junk mail as the automated response from your backup may have been filtered as ‘spam’ or ‘junk’.
- Permit ‘sosonlinebackup.com’ as a sender.
- Try using a Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail account and see if this works. If it works, you can have that account forward the email backup reports to your primary account, or to have the email reports send to multiple addresses (you may separate different email addresses using ‘,’ or ‘;’).

| B Hutch Online Backup requires Administrative permissions in order to run properly. When B Hutch uploads information from your computer to the web, this can alert anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall programs. In order for B Hutch to run successfully on your system, you may need to make adjustments in these applications during the installation:
- Adding exceptions to your firewall:
In your task bar (bottom right), identify which security applications you are running. Some applications will let you disable it from a main control window. Double-click the icon to launch the control window. - Where the application requires specific program names to be added to an “exceptions” list, you should add the following programs:
- sstorage.exe
- sosuploadagent.exe
- ssloader.exe
If you encounter any problems with the software during the initial installation and testing, it is advised you reinstall the program.
