I'm aware that Windows Live Mail doesn't provide an easy way to access email accounts, address book or emails. But there are couple decent APIs available, like oeapi.com or nektra.com. You can probably use it to create a backup plugin for Windows Live Mail. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/autorun-backup-never-starts-at-system-startup#post-3615 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:39:52 +0000 Admin 3615@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>It seems you set the application to start at Windows Startup. It doesn't mean the backup jobs will automatically executed at system startup.<br /> For that, please open Backup Properties->Scheduler->Add<br /> Select "With built-in scheduler" and press OK.<br /> A new window will appear, for 'Schedule Task", select "At logon".<br /> Press OK and Save. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/restore-folders-are-empty#post-3614 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:36:07 +0000 Admin 3614@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>When you restore, also please select the "Restore excluded and deleted files" option. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/how-does-fbackup-handle-psts#post-3613 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:32:05 +0000 Admin 3613@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>FBackup will backup the entire file again if it was modified. It does not backup only changes inside the file. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/how-does-fbackup-handle-psts#post-3612 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:14:42 +0000 Kevin Gorny 3612@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>I have a quick Question regarding the backup process of PSTs. PSTs can become very large as users continue to add emails to them. I know FBackup does only the changes in files from the initial full backup (which is exactly what i want it to do), but my question is does it backup the PST in full each time or is the program designed to only backup the changes inside the pst.</p> <p>Example.<br /> Archive.pst is 1gig in size after initial backup. over the course of the next week the user moves 500MB of emails into Archive.pst making it's size 1.5gig. The next time FBackup is scheduled to run will it copy over that 500MB of new emails into the old 1gig file or will it just see the file as changed and backup the whole file again? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/restore-folders-are-empty#post-3611 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 10:47:13 +0000 Brammetje 3611@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>If i restore some files from my backup fb places the folders where i want to but there are no files in the folders...<br /> When i right-click on the backup file i have no backup log file, or if i go to view/job logs/last backup log it's greyed out.</p> <p>Maybe good to know.<br /> Had windows vista 32bit when i made the backup and now i'm running windows 7 64bit.<br /> The compname and language have been changed after upgrade. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/autorun-backup-never-starts-at-system-startup#post-3610 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 05:10:51 +0000 deepakbhor 3610@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>I am using Fbackup 4.6 and I have scheduled this software to run at system backup. Whenever I start my computer, the homepage with two options of backup (run backup job) and restore (restore from backup) appears and I have to click backup button on my own. Then only a task starts. All I want this software to run its own, automatically backup only as soon as homepage appears and I should not be bothered to click backup button. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/scheduled-backup-not-running#post-3609 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:42:51 +0000 utilityhelp 3609@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>I don't know if that will be possible due to firewall/content filtering software that is in place. Since I'm probably the only person that uses fbackup, I'll have to check to see if it is possible to do a remote access session, if not, hopefully there can be another solution. Again, I appreciate your help/efforts but if a solution can't be found - I totally understand. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/mirrordifferential#post-3608 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:27:29 +0000 Admin 3608@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>You should backup to the backup destination and also to the second computer using two backup jobs. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/50-licenses-for-backup4all-professional-giveaway/page/3#post-3607 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:25:33 +0000 Admin 3607@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I sent you the key by email. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/50-licenses-for-backup4all-professional-giveaway/page/3#post-3606 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:30:59 +0000 THJ 3606@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Was I too late?

It appears to only occur on this computer. Doesn't happen with other shortcuts in the start menu (or at least the ones I tried), and the location of the 'my computer' shortcut within the start menu doesn't matter either. I even created a brand new one, and it still happens (even though on the other machines fbackup behaves normally under the same conditions). I'm stumped. Any ideas? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/mirrordifferential#post-3604 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:32:11 +0000 seh 3604@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>OK - but does that mean the one backup file (containing both new &#38; modified files)continues to get bigger indefinitely? What is the correct backup &#38; restore strategy for mirror backups, assuming we regularly restore to a second computer, to keep it's data up to date and identical to the main computer? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/scheduled-backup-not-running#post-3603 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:52:03 +0000 Admin 3603@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Can you give me access to your computer using TeamViewer?<br /> Please send me an email when I can connect to info[at]fbackup[dot]com </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/fbackup-minimises-to-tray-on-its-own#post-3602 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:50:45 +0000 Admin 3602@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>We don't have a debug version to offer you.

Don't know whether it means the source of the destination. In either case the directories do exist, as shown by the backup working. The destination is a drobo (mapped to the w: drive) if this makes any difference. I'm using windows scheduler. But again scheduler does run the job. It simply fails. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/mirrordifferential#post-3584 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:30:07 +0000 seh 3584@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Following up on this, what is the restore strategy if I have the 1st mirror backup (full), and then 2 more weeks (14 more days) of mirror (i.e. incremental) backups.

It worked, program started at 7:15am and it backed what I wanted successfully. I had also set it to do that daily, so this morning when I checked, the scheduled backup did not run and gave an error message saying "&lt;filename&gt; is not a valid backup job" (or something like that.) This has gone on like this for a week or so now and I am unsure of what to do next. Thanks for any help you are able to give. Sorry if this has been asked beofre but I could not seem to find a similar posting. </p>
