Back in May I posted about this problem and an FBackup tech remotely accessed my computer and evrything worked fine. Well, it turns out the problem is that daily logs are over written the next day. If I do multiple backups in the same day the logs are NOT over written. So naturally things worked fine when the tech remotely accessed my computer and did several backups.
When I open VIEW | JOBS LOGS | OPEN FOLDER I see two logs. One is the Monthly log that I run on the 1st day of each month (it backs up the entire C: drive) and the last daily log. That is all the logs that are in the folder. Is there some folder naming convention I need to follow to prevent the previous days log from being over writen?
Thanx.

Hi,
No, there isn't such a naming convention. Please make sure you don't have other applications that could remove the log files.

How would I do this? Any idea why another program would do this? Thanx.

Hi,
Which is the total size of the log files?

Do you have the same problem for a new backup job?
