You can manually delete them.</p> <p>The backup job you have now should do the backup you need. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/fbackup-what-should-i-see#post-1382 Wed, 26 May 2010 21:42:15 +0000 MH 1382@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Not sure if I understand.</p> <p>Right now I have a *single* backup job with "create full paths" checked.<br /> According to your reply, this will create the backup in the "C" folder. Correct?<br /> Why is it also putting the same folders in the X root?<br /> Why is it also creating the Revision folder?</p> <p>In other words, why does this single backup job create what you say takes three different backup jobs to do?</p> <p>And, then why do I need another job with "create full paths" unchecked?</p> <p>Also, why do I need a mirror backup to "Revision"?</p> <p>What I want is my folders and subfolders from the C drive, minus what I have excluded, to be put into a "C" folder in the destination. Any subsequent changes to a backed up file would replace the previous version of the file. That's *all* that I want. Nothing outside of the "C" folder. That's all that I want. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/fbackup-what-should-i-see#post-1380 Wed, 26 May 2010 10:51:37 +0000 Admin 1380@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>You need 3 backup jobs:</p> <p>1. Create a mirror backup job and also please uncheck the "Create full paths" option from Properties->Mirror page. That will put the files in destination without creating the "C" folder</p> <p>2. Create a mirror backup job with the "Create full paths" option checked. That will create in destination the backup inside the "C" folder.</p> <p>3. Create a mirror backup to "Revision" destination folder. Uncheck the root files from Properties->Sources page.</p> <p>Please note FBackup was not designed for system backups, but for data files backup. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/fbackup-what-should-i-see#post-1375 Tue, 25 May 2010 15:19:04 +0000 MH 1375@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>I'm a little confused at what I see after doing C drive backups with FBackup.</p> <p>I have a Netgear Duo mapped to drive X.</p> <p>I have set Fbackup to do a mirror backup of most of my drive C every morning.</p> <p>Here is what I see on my X drive after a few days of backups:<br /> 1. All of the C drive folders and root directory files that I wanted to back up.<br /> In other words, looks just like my C drive.</p> <p>2. A folder called "C" that also contains all the C drive folders and root directory files that I wanted backed up.</p> <p>3. A folder called "Revision" that contains the C drive folders, but *not* the root directory individual files.</p> <p>So, it seems I have my backed up files/folders three times -- in the X drive "root", within a "C" folder on X and within a "Revsion" folder on X (without the C individual root files).</p> <p>Is this correct or what am I missing? </p>
