It seems I backed up everthing apart from Windows itself. So a real everything apart from the kitchen sink. I think that explains the problem. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/fbackup-log-hangs#post-3141 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 12:00:16 +0000 Admin 3141@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>For Notepad, that seems to be very large.

Please make sure you selected that job and pressed the Backup button. After that, the log file will be created. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/mirror-backup-not-creating-log-file#post-1779 Thu, 23 Sep 2010 20:21:25 +0000 folivio 1779@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Thank you admin. Unfortunately, when I right-click on the backup and select Job Logs-&gt; the “Last Backup Log” and the “Last Restore Log” are ghosted out. The same is true if I select the “Mirror C Drive” icon and go to the View menu and choose Job Logs. The “Open Log Folder” option is available. </p> <p>The backup is named “Mirror C Drive”, so if I search the FBackup.log file I find entries and they all show warnings. I just don’t know what those warnings are, so I can't address them. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/mirror-backup-not-creating-log-file#post-1771 Wed, 22 Sep 2010 10:21:32 +0000 Admin 1771@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>To see the log file for that job, please right-click it and select Job Logs->Last backup log.<br /> Please send us that log file to see what the problem is.

Two of them create log files, but the third doesn't, and I can't figure out how to configure the properties to create the log file. I'm getting error reports after the mirror process, but can't find out what they were.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for your help. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/4-items-to-add-to-the-wish-list#post-574 Thu, 03 Sep 2009 07:24:48 +0000 Admin 574@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>We added your requests on our Wishlist. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/4-items-to-add-to-the-wish-list#post-570 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 13:39:51 +0000 pierrem 570@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Dear SysAdmin, please add the following 4 items to the wish list. </p> <p>Item 1) can you please add a pruning option where a user can specify how many days of log files to keep. As far as I can see, log files are NEVER deleted! I think this parameter should be places in the Tools/Options window.</p> <p>Item 2) Run Fbackup as a service so that users don't have to be logged in for the backup to work. </p> <p>Item 3) Give the option to run the backup job in the background so that it is visually invisible to the user. This way users cannot abort the backup. </p> <p>Item 4) As part of a "Backup Job" property, when doing a "Make mirror" backup, please add an option where at a specific interval that this job is executed, do a "clear backup before run".</p> <p>For the users that are not aware of this, when doing a Make mirror backup, the first time the job is executed, it does a full backup of the selected files. For subsequent backups, it only does an incremental backup (much faster). However, if you don't trust the state of the files on the destination, then it's a good idea to regularly force a full backup. Reasons for not trusting the destination is that Fbackup does not check if the data on the destination is still there. So if someone deleted some files on the destination drive, or if the destination drive was replaced, currently Fbackup will not detect that and will only copy changed files from the source to the destination...leaving you with only a partial backup.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Pierre </p>
