Discussion forum for FBackup users.
We are organizing a giveaway, where 50 licenses for Backup4all Professional (total value of $2500) will be given to 50 users. All you have to do is create a video tutorial about FBackup and upload it to Youtube - there is no drawing so as long as there are licenses left from those 50, you will receive one too. Here are the details: Backup4all Giveaway.
Seem to have successfully downloaded and installed FBackup4 to my Windows-XP desktop.
But I get the topic message when I try to add a folder from our LAN in the New Backup Wizard dialog! (Same happens in Advanced Mode dialog.)
Is FBackup not for networks? (in which case I didn't see this mentioned in the website's overview?).
Otherwise, I've checked that the LAN is user accessible (logged-in with password) and top-level folders list OK.
Am I missing something here?

Hi,
Adding files and folders from network sources is not allowed in FBackup.
If you need that feature, we recommend you our commercial product: Backup4all.
Dear Admin,
I installed your commercial product Backup4all Lite and tried to add a folder from a network and it is still not allowed.
Wot to do?
Cheers.

Hi,
That feature is not included in the Lite edition of Backup4all
You need to try Standard or Professional edition.
Please see here a comparison matrix with the features included in each edition: http://www.backup4all.com/en/compare-products.html
Hello,
FBackup is a great product and I am just trying it out for a bit before buying Backup4all to let me use my network drive in both directions. I have been backing up my hard drive to a network drive for a couple of weeks now and it has been working great.
A couple of days ago however, the backups started aborting with:
[4/21/2011 10:16:52 PM] Error: Backup aborted. Reason:
Adding files and folders from the network is not allowed.
Backup aborted at 4/21/2011 10:16:53 PM with 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)
I had not made any changes to my source list but, even so, I rechecked it carefully and there are no network drives listed in the source. I next unchecked all source files except a single one on my hard drive and was still aborted with the same error.
Finally I created a new backup job specifying the same source set as before and that seems to be running fine, though I won't know for sure till tomorrow.
To have my backup job suddenly start aborting leaves me a bit worried as to reliability.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
No other client reported such a problem before.
Please send us to info[at]fbackup[dot]com :
- the log file from View->Job Logs->Last backup log.
- the .fkc file from View->Open Folder->Catalog Folder.
Put the files into a zip archive.
Hi,
It seems you do have source files from network.
Please open Backup Properties->Sources
Remove the sources from T: drive as it is a mapped network drive.
Press Save and run again the backup.
