If the files are not in the backup catalog, they will be backed up. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/rescan-catalog#post-980 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 23:33:37 +0000 RhysAndrews 980@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>I don't have a last backup log.<br /> As far as FBackup is concerned, I have nothing backed up yet.</p> <p>*But* because of my previous backup method, I do have 90% of what needs to be backed up already backed up. FBackup just doesn't realise, and so it's overwriting every file unnecssarily. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/rescan-catalog#post-978 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 14:17:12 +0000 Admin 978@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Please send us to info[at]fbackup[dot]com, the following files:<br /> - the .fkc catalog file for that job. You can find the .fkc file if you go to View->Open folder->Destination folder.<br /> - the .log file for the last backup job. To find it, please go to: View->Job Logs->Last Backup Log.<br /> Put the files into a zip archive. </p> http://www.fbackup.com/forum/topic/rescan-catalog#post-975 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 06:24:26 +0000 RhysAndrews 975@http://www.fbackup.com/forum/ <p>Hey guys,<br /> I have started using FBackup - and it seems to work really well.</p> <p>Basically, I have my music collection twice - once on my portable hard-drive, and again on my HTPC. The backup is set to backup from the portable drive to the HTPC (because I put all new music on my hard drive).</p> <p>However, 95% of my music is already on my HTPC (I used to manually add new music) - the backup still insists on backing everything up, overwriting the files. It's taking forever! I know that once it's done, it will only backup what's changed, but this is still a problem.</p> <p>Any advice would be great,<br /> Rhys </p>
