All resolved those wonderful people at WCP (Brad just fixed it) fixed it...my machine has one of those regular ms o/s updates this morning and that was the cause and not wcp....
Ps Folk's Brad was super quick with the resolution...so despite no new features on wcp the back-up was tip toppety top....5 gold star and a cup of tea.
I am going to lock this topic as it has been solved by those wonderful chaps at WCP.
Cheers
Dave
