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/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/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/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/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/what-exactly-does-refresh-do#post-3601 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:49:13 +0000 Admin 3601@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>No, it just reloads the backup catalog in memory. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/what-exactly-does-refresh-do#post-3598 Sun, 05 Feb 2012 09:58:44 +0000 i_am_jim 3598@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Every description of the Refresh function I have found says "reloads the backup catalog"</p> <p>Please elaborate on what that means. Does it mean a complete recreation of the backup is made? If not, does it compare the source with the backup and delete any files not in the source and add any files not in the backup and recreate the database so it reflects the additions and deletions? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/mirrordifferential#post-3595 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:48:14 +0000 Admin 3595@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I just explained you that you cannot keep 1 complete mirror and 14 incremental mirrors in different places.<br /> The new and modified files are copied over the complete backup, updating it. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/logs-are-still-being-overwritten#post-3593 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:44:42 +0000 Admin 3593@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Which is the total size of the log files?<br /> Do you have the same problem for a new backup job? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/fbackup-always-start-in-tray#post-3591 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:41:24 +0000 Admin 3591@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>In FBackup there is no option to start the application in tray at Windows startup.<br /> That feature is included in our commercial application <a href="http://www.Backup4all.com">Backup4all</a>. </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.

When I took off the password the settings said it was gone off, but everytime I tried to restore it still wanted the password. That is whe I thought I had to click on save and run, but than I seen it overwritten my backup of my folders and files with the empy folders on my computer. Is there anyway to undo this? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/encryption-password-issue#post-3554 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 18:55:54 +0000 Beastie2B 3554@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>I was having an issue with an encryption password. When I enter the password to restore files it would say it was incorrect and just add the folders to the computer and not the files. I than went to try to remove the password and it seem to take the password here, but than I clicked on save and run and it seem to run another back up and overwrite my back up from my external HDD with just the empty folders. </p> <p>Is there anyway to go back and get the files back or are they permanently gone? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/can-a-second-account-user-also-use-fbackup-to-backup#post-3552 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:49:13 +0000 Admin 3552@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>You cannot do that.<br /> The backup jobs and settings are saved for each user individually.<br /> If you want to use the same settings for all users, you need to use our commercial product: <a href="http://www.Backup4all.com">Backup4all</a>. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/can-a-second-account-user-also-use-fbackup-to-backup#post-3549 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 23:31:49 +0000 Imbibery 3549@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Sorry, I mean can she backup the same backup jobs? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/can-a-second-account-user-also-use-fbackup-to-backup#post-3548 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 23:30:28 +0000 Imbibery 3548@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>I have set up FBackup as an administrator and all works well.
