Mirror Backup
Posted: Mon Feb 13, 2017 4:05 pm
Had regularly used FBackup (mirror) for a while backing up to external hard drive (despite the LENGTHY <500g harddrive & 8 years of info> process). Only kept latest backup. It was a fairly straightforward process & I, even, recommended it to others.
Never had need to "restore."
Than the "unthinkable" happened---my hard drive crashed. Finally having enough time to "deal" with restoring, decided to restore only necessary items---the others would be there if/when I needed them.
The entire backup (tree) is on the ext hard drive---down to the documents themselves. The documents do NOT show as being available.
Before I TOTALLY give up (& forever "cuss" FBackup!), wanted to check if I'm doing something wrong.
Why would it copy every folder, but not copy the documents in that folder.
