Hello all.
Im looking for a way to create a backup directly to the source drive.
IE- Mirror A: to B:, backup name "Backup"... A:\clip.mkv backs up to B:\clip.mkv rather than what I get now B:\backup\clip.mkv
Is this even something possible with FBackup? Ive poked around, but couldnt find anything.
Currently running 9.9.975

Re: Backup straight to source
Hi,
Yes, you can do that using FBackup.
Please open "Backup Properties->Type" page.
Make sure the following options are unchecked:
"Copy files in a subfolder"
"Create full paths"
Then press Save and run again the backup.

Re: Backup straight to source
Are there any potential downsides or risks to using this method of backing up directly to the source drive, such as overwriting files?
