Mirror backup issue on New Install of fbackup
Posted: Wed Jul 16, 2014 5:40 pm
I manually copied files to an external hard drive as part of a backup before installing this software.
Creating a backup job with fbackup, to mirror one of the folders on an internal drive to my external usb drive (where I had just manually copied all the files in this folder - so they exist in both locations with the same file properties).
Issue is that the new backup job attempts to recopy all files to the external drive, instead of simply noting they already exist there, and moving on.
I don't want to go through re-copying all 250GB of data - how do I get the program to skip files that already exist??? I thought a 'mirror' type of job would do that.
I have selected both check boxes within the mirror setup : Create full paths, and Remove excluded or deleted files
