I read a lot of great things about FBackup but thus far my experience hasn't been very good. </p> <p>I am trying to backup pretty much everything except Windows etc. on my Dell Laptop with a 250Gb drive. So far, every time I create a "large" backup, such as 60Gb's FBackup gets to the 58% mark a crashes. When I look in the folder where the back up has been sent to on a 750 Gb ext. drive, the size of the file is 33.7Gb. I have ran three jobs of similar size and the result is a file that is exactly the same size each time, although I have selected different files each time. One backup of 63GB and one that was larger each created a 33.7Gb file on the ext drive. Both though have "crashed" at 58% according to FBackup. </p> <p>The log doesn't say that it has crashed. The last entry just states "Adding file etc etc etc. But the application is non responsive and the machine has to be shutdown forcefully. </p> <p>I have ran a small backup of one folder of about 4mb's that is fine. </p> <p>Any ideas as to why the large backup fails? Also should note that for it to reach that point it takes hours, which isn't unusual for a large back up, but it will just sit there once it reaches that point that it has to be shut down.</p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated! </p> <p>Thanks<br /> M.

I was backing up files from FBackup to an external Verbatim drive. The computer crashed. I connected the Verbatim drive to another computer and could see the FBackup files for each instance that a backup was done. I had to unplug the Verbatim drive (USB) and then plug it back in and when I did, the computer is now reading it as "New Drive". The are very few files on there and I do not see the FBackup files. There is a folder called 20120509-195931_LocalAutobackup but all that I see is other folders under that with some drivers and log files. </p> <p>Have I lost my FBackup files. How do I get them back?

(After the process is complete the new machine and backup jobs should have the same name as the old ones and the old ones will be "scrubbed" to remove all data.)<br /> 3) I'd like to do a final backup on the old machine and restore on the new one to make sure any files that have been added or changed since Easy Transfer are available on the new box. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/configuring-scheduled-backup#post-3934 Mon, 07 May 2012 15:29:09 +0000 ATP 3934@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>In point 7, it states:</p> <p>"7.
