Using FBackup with a 2nd monitor - inaccessible Properties pop-up window

Minor annoyance here, but frustrating. Working remotely I often switch between working in a dual monitor (laptop screen + external monitor) setup (when home) and a single laptop screen setup (when not home). When I run FBackup in the dual monitor setup I often edit the Properties of a backup job in ...

Re: FBackup 5 hangs on "Duplicate Backup"

Hi, I created a 2nd backup job and copied over the 'sources' that were targetted. I then did the same "Duplicate Backup" and edit "Properties" on the new duplicated backup. It works fine now. I'll create all new backup jobs in FBackup 5 and work from there. So.... no bug? As a so...

Re: Cannot create a file when that file already exists

Micheal, I can see where you problem is.
It is because you watch Fox News. That site is full of right-wing viruses... :)

Re: FBackup 5 hangs on "Duplicate Backup"

Hi,

As requested I have sent the .fkc file to you.
Note that it is relatively large, ~10Mb in size.

Thanks for taking the time to review this bug. I can imagine that supporting a free product is painful :)

Good luck,
Eric

Using : FBackup 5.0, build 192 Windows 7, 64-bit For my purposes I like to create a 'new' backup job (with a new name and files/folders backed up) every 2 weeks. This new job is not completely 'new', rather it is based on a previous Backup Job. Here are the steps I do : 1. start up FBackup 5 2. clic...

FBackup task in Task Scheduler fails : bug (but solved?)

Hi, In another post I was asked about trying to set up a Backup Job to back up a directory daily (and to keep multiple copies - alas, I have to upgrade). However, when I set up the Scheduler for the Daily Backup Job in FBackup 5, it seems to set up 2 tasks in Windows 7's "Task Scheduler". ...

Re: Unable to do daily dated backups

:oops:

Well, that would explain why I failed miserably ...

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my query. You saved me lots of debugging time (but it will ultimately cost me in the end when I upgrade).

Unable to do daily dated backups

Hi, I'm trying to do a backup of a folder on a daily basis. I'd like to have the same directory saved every day, with each day's backup under a separate directory : 2013-09-09.1_C.zip 2013-09-10.1_C.zip 2013-09-11.1_C.zip ... etc ... I have no problem with the Scheduler, setting up the "Job&quo...
