This message means that your computer could not communicate properly with our servers or you have a missing component. To solve this, please follow the instructions below:
- Check your Firewall or Antivirus software: Zoolz Archive is a backup software, meaning that it needs to check your files for changes and modifications and communicate with the server to check the current backup state. While this is a normal behavior for a backup software, some Antivirus software might think it is suspicious and constantly scan Zoolz’s application files and folders, thus, making it harder to scan the files and sometimes impossible to communicate to the server. Please try to exclude the following files/folders from your Antivirus:
- C:\Program Files\Genie9\Zoolz2
- C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Genie9\Zoolz
- C:\Program Files\Genie9\Zoolz2\Zoolz.exe
- C:\Program Files\Genie9\Zoolz2\ZoolzService.exe
Also, make sure that you have the TCP ports 80 and 443 open and available through your Firewall.
