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/windows-live-mail#post-913 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 19:20:53 +0000 arcarter 913@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Is there an addon to backup Windows Live Mail?

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/mirrordifferential#post-3337 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:31:57 +0000 seh 3337@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Did a mirror backup of over 5000 files. An hour later, ran the same backup job again, and it backed up only 3 files. These were the only 3 files I accessed in the interim. Isn't this in fact a differential backup? Will it continue to backup only the changed files from this point on. That is exactly what we are looking to do. </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/logs-are-still-being-overwritten#post-3462 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 11:44:59 +0000 MikeyChris 3462@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Back in May I posted about this problem and an FBackup tech remotely accessed my computer and evrything worked fine. Well, it turns out the problem is that daily logs are over written the next day. If I do multiple backups in the same day the logs are NOT over written. So naturally things worked fine when the tech remotely accessed my computer and did several backups.</p> <p>When I open VIEW | JOBS LOGS | OPEN FOLDER I see two logs. One is the Monthly log that I run on the 1st day of each month (it backs up the entire C: drive) and the last daily log. That is all the logs that are in the folder. Is there some folder naming convention I need to follow to prevent the previous days log from being over writen?</p> <p>Thanx. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/fbackup-always-start-in-tray#post-3583 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:03:14 +0000 tecknomage 3583@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>OK, I have <strong>FBackup v4.6.260</strong> starting on <strong>WinXP startup</strong>.</p> <p>Problem, the <strong>FBackup</strong> window is open, even though I have <strong>Show tray icon</strong> sub-options checked.</p> <p>How do I get <strong>FBackup</strong> to open <strong>minimized to the Tray</strong> on WinXP startup? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/backup-failing#post-3574 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:36:23 +0000 Paul 3574@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi, hope you can help</p> <p>I'm getting this message<br /> Backup cannot continue<br /> Not enough disk space<br /> Insert another disk and retry or cancel backup</p> <p>The backup seems to be complete at 100% but then it comes up saying splitting zip file, this runs for a while and then the message above appears.</p> <p>There is plenty of space on the removable disk so it is not full!</p> <p>cheers </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/date-missing#post-3557 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 12:09:42 +0000 agerbatin 3557@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>My backup file is not showing dates of the selected files in restore operation; how to solve that? </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.

I created a backup of selected files on the C: drive prior to a reformat and installation of a newer version of windows(7 64 bit) (previously on Vista 32 bit). Prior to the reformat, I moved the ("New Backup")backup folder and the ("New Backup.fkc") file from the C: drive where I originally backed up to,to an external HD. After the new installation moved the folder and .fkc file back to the C drive. Tried restoring several times but no success. Then I selected (accidentally) Backup instead of restore on my next attempt:<br /> -------------------------------------------<br /> [11/01/2012 12:56:25 PM] FBackup 4.6.260<br /> [11/01/2012 12:56:25 PM] Search for "Warning: " and "Error: " to locate warnings and errors in this log file<br /> [11/01/2012 12:56:25 PM] Starting backup for "New Backup" at 11/01/2012 12:56:25 PM<br /> [11/01/2012 12:56:25 PM] Operating system: Windows 7 Home Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601)<br /> Processor[0] : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz<br /> Processor[1] : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz<br /> Processor[2] : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz<br /> Processor[3] : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz<br /> Physical memory (free/total) : 3126 MB/4095 MB<br /> Display (res/color/DPI) : 1920X1080/32 bit/120<br /> System font (name/height/size/charset) : Segoe UI/-15/9/1<br /> Admin/BkPriv/RePriv : True/True/False<br /> IsWOW64 : True<br /> Locale : English (Australia)<br /> [11/01/2012 12:56:25 PM] Checking if the drives of the sources exist<br /> [11/01/2012 12:56:28 PM] Checking backup destination (External hard drive)<br /> [11/01/2012 12:56:28 PM] Creating the list of files to backup<br /> [11/01/2012 12:56:29 PM] Folders found to backup: 0<br /> [11/01/2012 12:56:29 PM] Files found to backup: 0 (0 KB)</p> <p> Backup completed at 11/01/2012 12:56:29 PM with 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)<br /> ----------------------------------------------<br /> Then tried another restore but again no success:</p> <p>----------------------------------------------<br /> [11/01/2012 12:56:03 PM] FBackup 4.6.260<br /> [11/01/2012 12:56:03 PM] Restoring files from backup "New Backup", start time 11/01/2012 12:56:03 PM<br /> [11/01/2012 12:56:03 PM] Operating system: Windows 7 Home Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601)<br /> Processor[0] : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz<br /> Processor[1] : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz<br /> Processor[2] : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz<br /> Processor[3] : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz<br /> Physical memory (free/total) : 3145 MB/4095 MB<br /> Display (res/color/DPI) : 1920X1080/32 bit/120<br /> System font (name/height/size/charset) : Segoe UI/-15/9/1<br /> Admin/BkPriv/RePriv : True/True/False<br /> IsWOW64 : True<br /> Locale : English (Australia)</p> <p>[11/01/2012 12:56:03 PM] Processing zip file I:\New Backup\1_C.zip<br /> [11/01/2012 12:56:03 PM] Error: Incomplete Zip File<br /> Restored 0 file(s) and 0 folder(s)<br /> Restore operation finished at 11/01/2012 12:56:03 PM with 0 errors</p> <p>-------------------------------------------</p> <p>After checking that the 1_C.zip file had not been overwritten, checked file properties - still 170GB, tried changing the name of both the folder and the .fkc file.

The NAS drive has plenty of space, the computer is running Windows 7 64-bit and there are no other programs running in the background.</p> <p>I set fBackup to perform the backup. It takes awhile to get the list prepared (shadow copy I think) and then it starts to perform the backup. Unfortunately, at some point, which is never the same time, the computer blue screens and restarts. I only have this issue running fBackup. To be clear, fBackup is actually copying the files, but naturally once there is a crash it stops.</p> <p>Here are some of the things I've already tried:</p> <p>* Run the chkdsk program to make sure there are no errors.<br /> * Turn off services like antivirus, etc.<br /> * Plug the computer directly into the network where my NAS is located rather than using a slower wireless connection.<br /> * Make sure the latest and greatest MS and fBackup software is installed.</p> <p>Do you have any thoughts on why this is happening and how to fix the problem?</p> <p>Thank you. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/multiple-file-copies#post-3487 Wed, 04 Jan 2012 02:35:57 +0000 mojofoto 3487@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>How do I set up a backup configuration to save more than 1 copy of a file?

The third is the USERS folder tree (including all sub-folders). Sometimes the daily log shows SKIPPING FILE whateverpath because it could not be found. Judging from the chronology of the log, I assume FBackup found the file when it was creating the list of files to backup, but when it tried to add the file to the ZIP file, it was not able to find the file. Is this correct? Usually the skipped files are either log files, cookies or history files in the USERS tree. I assume Windows (Win 7 Pro 64 bit) for whatever reason erased these files and it is not of any consequence, but I wanted to check.<br /> Thanx. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/change-saving-existing-files-from-doc-to-docx#post-3444 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 20:07:05 +0000 fitness88 3444@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Using Office 2007 on Windows 7, 64 bit</p> <p>If I no longer want to save my exisiting files in Word 97-2003 [.doc] but choose to now save them instead in Word Document [.docx], will they still get backed up or do I have to include them individually in my source to back up?<br /> Thank you. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/bkup-new-files-only#post-3483 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 02:51:45 +0000 rtarozzi 3483@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Is there a way to backup only new files in order to shorten backup time and effort? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/bugreport-exception-message-invalid-file-name-s#post-3486 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 08:45:00 +0000 David Rubio 3486@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>date/time : 2012-01-03, 08:40:16, 526ms<br /> computer name : RUBIO<br /> user name : rubio &lt;admin&gt;<br /> registered owner : Usuario<br /> operating system : Windows 7 x64 Service Pack 1 build 7601<br /> system language : Spanish<br /> system up time : 3 minutes 34 seconds<br /> program up time : 44 seconds<br /> processors : 4x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 520 @ 2.40GHz<br /> physical memory : 3626/5872 MB (free/total)<br /> free disk space : (C:) 40,14 GB<br /> display mode : 1366x768, 32 bit<br /> process id : $14a0<br /> allocated memory : 20,03 MB<br /> command line : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Softland\FBackup 4\fbacmd.exe" /f "C:\Users\rubio\AppData\Roaming\Softland\FBackup 4\IniFiles\ORKOIEN.ini"<br /> executable : fbacmd.exe<br /> exec. date/time : 2011-10-24 18:06<br /> version : 4.6.0.260<br /> compiled with : BCB 2009<br /> madExcept version : 3.0i<br /> callstack crc : $12efb00f, $1b50f61c, $1b50f61c<br /> count : 16<br /> exception number : 1<br /> exception class : EInOutError<br /> exception message : Invalid file name - %s. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/changing-password-1#post-3465 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 18:26:54 +0000 LaurelOlivia 3465@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>I was given a password and I want to change it to something I can remember?
