You should use a backup job for Outlook Express, another job for documents and so on. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/backup-outlook-express-data#post-3476 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 08:16:59 +0000 James005 3476@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>I wish to backup my Outlook Express files.

It is a large 22 GB folder. I started FBackup following the online tutorial. It has been making a Shadow Copy now for over 48 hours---is this normal?? Or is their some incorrect loop going on.

Yes, FBackup will overwrite the file. Please note if the size is the same, it doesn't mean the file was not modified. Try to compare two text files with a single different letter inside. The size is the same but the content could be different.<br /> 2. The file will be overwritten.<br /> 3. The file will be backed up again with the new name. FBackup does not track your actions to have a history of that file. It just sees a new file and will back it up.<br /> 4. The moved files will be backed up again. The same reason as above. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/how-does-fbackup-decide-whether-a-file-has-changed#post-3100 Sun, 18 Sep 2011 22:43:37 +0000 DahlgrenS 3100@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>These questions are about Mirror backups, in particular about the algorithm used by FBackup to decide whether a file on the source drive has "changed" (and thus needs to be copied to the destination drive).</p> <p>1. If the source file's Modified Date has changed but its content and size have not changed, will FBackup overwrite the copy on the destination drive or will it simply adjust the Modified Date of the copy? (The latter is more efficient.)<br /> 2. If the source file's content has changed but its size and Modified Date have not changed, will FBackup overwrite the copy on the destination drive, or will it be fooled into thinking the copy is already up to date?<br /> 3. If the source file's filename has changed but its size, Modified Date and content have not changed, will FBackup overwrite the copy on the destination drive or will it simply rename the copy? (The latter is more efficient.)<br /> 4. If the source file has been moved to a different folder (that's included in the source specification) but its filename, size, Modified Date and content have not changed, will FBackup copy the file to the different folder on the destination drive and delete the old copy from the old folder, or will it simply move the copy to the different folder? (The latter is more efficient.)</p> <p>I may have some follow-up questions. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/fbackup-backup-and-restoration-tutorial#post-3058 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 18:00:50 +0000 LanceHAOH 3058@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>I've created a tutorial on how to baackup and restore with Fbackup.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyfYR-a7XUY" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyfYR-a7XUY</a> </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/create-backup-templates#post-3029 Thu, 25 Aug 2011 14:14:49 +0000 Admin 3029@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>In Backup4all you can create and use your own plugins.<br /> Please read this article for more details: <a href="http://www.backup4all.com/kb/how-to-create-a-backup-plugin-161.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.backup4all.com/kb/how-to-create-a-backup-plugin-161.html</a> </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/create-backup-templates#post-3025 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 17:13:12 +0000 BenHartless 3025@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hello!</p> <p>We have an environment here where we would like to not have to manually change the settings each time we install on a user's machine.

I have not used the ipod since the mishap happened. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/trouble-with-backup-on-ipod#post-2951 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 12:36:00 +0000 Admin 2951@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>It seems the zip header was affected by the operations you performed on the zip file. In this case, it cannot be accessed.<br /> Having only 3 GB of files instead of 30 GB, that means many files were deleted. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/trouble-with-backup-on-ipod#post-2948 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 03:09:48 +0000 lovelychihuahua 2948@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Thank you for taking the time to look it over for me. </p> <p>I believe the files are still there, just not being catalogued correctly. </p> <p>When I used WinZip to try and extract the files, they showed in the file list as being the correct sizes, but I got the error message "Unable to find local header." </p> <p>Is there any way to access them? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/trouble-with-backup-on-ipod#post-2941 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 13:24:53 +0000 Admin 2941@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>As I understand, your zip file was 30 GB and you opened it with IZarc on your ipod. After that the archive became 3 GB. After that you tried to restore the files with FBackup but they are empty.<br /> That means the you changed the archive deleting some of its content.<br /> You should never manually touch the files in destination only if you know what you are doing.</p> <p>The backup catalog you sent us is fine. The problem is with the files in the zip archive. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/trouble-with-backup-on-ipod#post-2938 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 01:58:49 +0000 lovelychihuahua 2938@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>I made a full backup of my C: drive using Fbackup and was glad I did because the hard drive failed soon after. </p> <p>The backup is on my ipod classic, and it was working fine, allowing me to go into the archive using IZarc and retrieve files as needed. </p> <p>All of a sudden, the backup file on my ipod went from 30Gb to 3Gb and I am unable to retrieve anything. I have a new computer and I ran the restore function on a newly installed Fbackup, and it restores empty folders only. No files. </p> <p>I have not written anything to my ipod since the mishap, and am hoping the data is still on the drive, just not being catalogued correctly. </p> <p>I am desperate to retrieve this data and hope you can help me. I have put my .fkc file in a compressed folder and sent to info at Fbackup, so hopefully that will help expedite the process. </p> <p>Thank you for your help!!<br /> -jw </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/fbackup-tutorial#post-2775 Mon, 20 Jun 2011 10:48:03 +0000 razvar 2775@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>New Video tutorial: Backup your files in 3 easy stepts with FBackup</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipC1DO566VA" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipC1DO566VA</a> </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/how-to-do-a-14-day-full-and-differential-backup#post-2769 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 12:20:03 +0000 GyroGJ 2769@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>How to do a Rotational Full and Differential Backup that keeps the last 14 backups performed.<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2y37UZ16eg" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2y37UZ16eg</a> </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/fbackup-tutorial#post-2454 Wed, 30 Mar 2011 18:41:49 +0000 camaro1327 2454@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Tutorial about how to backup all pictures on your computer.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ehbh0SQNZo" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ehbh0SQNZo</a> </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/how-can-i-make-a-full-mirror-backup#post-2410 Wed, 23 Mar 2011 15:57:27 +0000 Admin 2410@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>As I understand, you manually put extra files in destination folder and want FBackup to remove them?

I use FBackup 4.5.241 on Windows 7.</p> <p>The Volume Shadow Copy service is already running and the backups are done normally, if any new file is added.</p> <p>I have the "Remove excluded or deleted files from backup" option enabled, but if I run a backup task, the removed files from the source are not deleted from the destination.</p> <p>I've also tested it by making a test backup. After the backup was completed, I've added more files in the destination directory, I've changed the source files and I added some more source files.</p> <p>After running the test backup again, it finished successfully by mirroring the files from source to the destination by replacing any modified files and adding any new files, but the extra files from the destination weren't deleted.</p> <p>Is there any other option that I may have forgotten to check out?</p> <p>Thank you for any answers. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/fbackup-tutorial#post-2395 Sat, 19 Mar 2011 11:41:05 +0000 gerrynoble 2395@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>New video on YouTube - How to Backup using FBackup</p> <p>You can view the tutorial at:</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgQ6xlWa1CA" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgQ6xlWa1CA</a> </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/back-up-minecraft-using-fbackup#post-2391 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 11:35:46 +0000 Admin 2391@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>We also have a backup plugin for Minecraft.<br /> Please see this page about how you can download and install it: <a href="http://www.backup4all.com/kb/minecraft-backup-plugin-861.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.backup4all.com/kb/minecraft-backup-plugin-861.html</a> </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/back-up-minecraft-using-fbackup#post-2385 Fri, 18 Mar 2011 07:31:31 +0000 Softland 2385@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Do you play Minecraft?
