The backup job will be recreated in FBackup. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/moving-backup-files#post-1721 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 12:30:09 +0000 wigchert 1721@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Is it possible to backup a server to an external disk, move this disk to a data centre, copy the disk to a server and change fbackup from local backup to a network backup whiteout losing the fbackup file?

Yes, if you use the Mirror backup type, the files in destination are an exact copy of the sources files. You can view them as the source files using Windows Explorer.</p> <p>2. The files in backup are deleted only if you use the "Remove excluded or deleted files from backup" option from Backup Properties->Mirror page. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/repeating-hourly-backup#post-1704 Fri, 03 Sep 2010 00:20:11 +0000 jadeandgail 1704@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I would like to run a mirror backup every hour, permanently. However, when I go into Scheduler &gt; Advanced &gt; Repeat Task - I can select for it to run every hour, but the "Until" option seems to be mandatory, meaning I have to input an end time.</p> <p>I don't seem to be able to unselect the "Until" option completely, which would enable my mirror backup to run once every hour, permanently.</p> <p>Can the "Until" option be unchecked completely? Or is there another way to schedule an hourly mirror backup?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/a-couple-of-questons#post-1703 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 20:47:09 +0000 i_am_jim 1703@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Question 1:<br /> Are the files on the mirror viewable using Windows Explorer just like the source files?</p> <p>Question 2:<br /> When files are deleted from the source are they deleted form the mirror? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/password#post-1702 Thu, 02 Sep 2010 10:37:59 +0000 Admin 1702@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>If you did not set a password, the zip file should not be encrypted.<br /> There is no default password in FBackup as by default "no encryption" is checked. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/password#post-1698 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 18:34:22 +0000 gavinda81 1698@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi</p> <p>i used fbackup to backup my server however i never entered any password, yet the backup is passworded, i need to access it asap what would the password have defaulted too? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/switching-to-fbackup-1#post-1696 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:21:38 +0000 Admin 1696@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>That is not possible.<br /> Please note FBackup uses its own catalog and cannot read the existing files in destination. The files will be backed up if not found in the backup catalog. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/switching-to-fbackup-1#post-1695 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 00:21:26 +0000 davedude46 1695@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Under Win XP, I used Bounceback Express to backup one external drive (my working photo drive) to 2 other external drives. I've finally upgraded to Win 7 and Bounceback Express has a problem with Win 7, but the author is no longer updating the Express version and to continue using Bounceback I have to buy the commercial version.</p> <p>Being the cheap SOB that I am, I'm looking to switch to FBackup, but I already have uncompressed backups created by BBE. If I set up a mirror backup using FBackup, will it recognize my existing structure and just pick up where BBE left off or will it try to create it's container and recreate the entire structure? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/can-i-modify-a-backup#post-1690 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 21:23:10 +0000 essex133 1690@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>As you can now select whether to remove excluded or deleted from the backup, if you delete a file or folder from the source directory, it will automatically be deleted from the backup the next time you run it. So surely it makes no sense to delete certain files directly from a backup, if they are still in the source folder anyway! </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/verification-after-backup#post-1683 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 09:53:48 +0000 Admin 1683@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>How large is your backup?<br /> What is the total size of the source files?<br /> How many files were added to the backup?</p> <p>The backup time depends on the number of files and folders, the total size of the files, the destination drive speed, the backup settings, the transfer ratio and also on your computer performance.</p> <p>If you press Cancel, the test will abort and the backup will not be affected.<br /> However, FBackup won't tell you the backup was successful as long as it wasn't tested. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/backup-between-2-external-drives#post-1682 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 09:49:57 +0000 Admin 1682@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>If you use FBackup with the Mirror backup type, you can remove excluded or deleted files from backup.</p> <p>To configure that option, please open Backup Properties->Mirror page and check the "Remove excluded or deleted files from backup" option. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/verification-after-backup#post-1680 Wed, 25 Aug 2010 19:52:14 +0000 Barneyboy 1680@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>I have taken a "full back up" today on a different computer.</p> <p>I think that I too am suffering from this verification problem - it states that it is "testing".</p> <p>Lets get this down time wise - I have taken the back up which took a long time to complete, it is now "testing".

That is the behavior I'm looking for although traditional mirror backups would remove files from the destination when they don't exist on the source. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/found-error-when-try-to-back-windows-live-mail-on-windows7-ultimate-64-bit#post-1673 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 07:49:22 +0000 Admin 1673@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>The plugin you used is for Windows Mail, not for Windows Live Mail. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/sql-error-when-backing-up#post-1672 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 07:43:24 +0000 Admin 1672@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm glad your backups are working now. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/verification-after-backup#post-1671 Tue, 24 Aug 2010 07:42:06 +0000 Admin 1671@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>The test after backup action cannot be disabled in FBackup.
