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.

    using 2 external USB drives, fbackup is set to mirror files from c drive and files from main external drive to the other external drive, main external drive failed and when the auto backup ran that night it deleted all the backup files from the main external drive but left the files on c drive intact
    the backup is setup to do both drives in the same backup job
    using version 4.5
    have this setup this way on multiple computer system and afraid if it happens again I would lose a lot of information
    can you please advise what I should do so it does not happen again
    thanks

    Hi,

    That happened because you used the option to "Remove excluded or deleted files from backup" from Backup Properties->Mirror page.
    Please uncheck this option if you don't want to have that problem again.
    You should have made a restore of the files to the new drive before making the backup.
