Is it possible to create backups where the path includes the date of the backup? This would make it real convenient if I have to restore an older backup than the most recent. Essentially, I'd want a backup that looks as follows:</p> <p>c:\Destination Folder + [date of backup]\</p> <p>Is this possible to do? And if so, how? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/wishlist-save-in-two-destinations#post-1740 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 08:02:14 +0000 Admin 1740@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>We added your suggestion on our Wish list. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/wishlist-save-in-two-destinations#post-1738 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 16:59:08 +0000 saulob 1738@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>It would be really nice to have an option to save in two (three or more) destinations in the same backup.</p> <p>It takes a long time to make various backups, with the same options and only the destinations changed.</p> <p>Thanks :) </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/external-backup-destination#post-501 Tue, 04 Aug 2009 11:32:50 +0000 Admin 501@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Please read this tutorial about how to create a backup: <a href="http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/how-to-backup-files-with-fbackup">http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/how-to-backup-files-with-fbackup</a> </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/external-backup-destination#post-500 Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:58:46 +0000 dgriffin 500@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>My backup drive didn't come with a disk and it backs up all my information on my computer (exactly what I was trying to avoid).

If not, Fbackup won't work, they want media they can take home daily in case of a flood/fire. Are there any other options ou would suggest?</p> <p>Thanks for your time! </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/how-do-i-choose-an-internal-scsi-tape-drive-as-destination#post-488 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 12:07:29 +0000 Admin 488@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>You cannot use CD/DVD as backup destination. You can use USB drive as backup destination.<br /> Please note removable drives are not supported in FBackup. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/how-do-i-choose-an-internal-scsi-tape-drive-as-destination#post-487 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 22:09:33 +0000 stpetetech 487@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Or, do you suggest a DVD burner with a new blank DVD put in everyday? Does F-Backup allow for this? </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/how-do-i-choose-an-internal-scsi-tape-drive-as-destination#post-486 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 21:56:13 +0000 stpetetech 486@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p> There is only a couple of gigs of data to be backed up. If I got 5 exact brand/size thumb drives(say 4GB) each and setup a job, could they just switch thumb drives out each day and let it go? </p> <p>Thanks!~ </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/network-destination#post-480 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 09:41:28 +0000 Admin 480@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I think csimmons wants to back up TO a network location.<br /> The easiest way is to open Backup Properties (Ctrl+P) and go to Network page.<br /> Check "Change destination to network" option.<br /> You can Browse or type the destination path in the "Network path" field. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/network-destination#post-478 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 20:49:21 +0000 bbinnard 478@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Easiest way is to mount (or map) your network drive before you do a backup. Mounting/mapping assigns a drive letter to the network drive and makes it appear to your system as a "normal" drive. Then just pick it from the list of available backup drives. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/network-destination#post-477 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 15:05:25 +0000 csimmons 477@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>I want to back up to a network location but cannot figure out where to put the address in at. Can someone please help? Really would like to use this program since it looks like the restore is rather simple. Am using Cobian now and the back up is easy but the reverse is difficult. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/how-do-i-choose-an-internal-scsi-tape-drive-as-destination#post-474 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 06:33:32 +0000 Admin 474@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Yes, you can use multiple USB drives in FBackup, one for each backup job. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/how-do-i-choose-an-internal-scsi-tape-drive-as-destination#post-473 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 00:14:48 +0000 stpetetech 473@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Oh I see. Thanks for the heads up. Can we use multiple USB drives? I want to have backups run nightly...Thank you... </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/how-do-i-choose-an-internal-scsi-tape-drive-as-destination#post-472 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 12:49:57 +0000 Admin 472@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Please note FBackup does not support tape drives. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/how-do-i-choose-an-internal-scsi-tape-drive-as-destination#post-469 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 22:22:01 +0000 stpetetech 469@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hello, this is a great product, so much better than NTBackup. We have Windows 2000 Server with an Internal Seagate SCSI Travan drive. When setting up a new backup job, I don't see an option to choose this drive. If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it. NTBackup sees this as an option BTW... </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/dvd-drive-not-recognized-for-destination#post-216 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 09:31:22 +0000 Admin 216@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Backup to CD/DVD/Blu-ray destinations is not implemented in FBackup. You can use one of the destinations available: local hard drive, external hard drive and network. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/dvd-drive-not-recognized-for-destination#post-213 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 21:11:02 +0000 Harrol 213@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Program will not recognize DVD (Drive E). The only local choice provided is C:.<br /> Program is also very slow to load. Any ideas are appreciated. </p>
