I'm testing your program before recommending it to my customer but I found a few problems that I would like fixed. Fbackup doesn't take into account if the destination path has been cleared or if files and directories where deleted on the destination path. It should!
Here is the scenario. I have a customer with 10 computers/employees in a workgroup. He has a spare PC that he wants to use as a Backup PC. I would install Fbackup on the 10 PCs. Each PC would have a destination of \\backup-pc\BackupShare\%computername%\. The %computername% is the name of the source computer.
On this backup PC, I would also create Monthly directories (Jan, Feb, Mar, etc...). On the first of the month, I will copy the content of BackupShare to the monthly directory and afterwards wipeout the content of BackupShare to start a new month.
This will provide me with online monthly backups!
Am I wrong in my assumption that Fbackup doesn't take into account the destination to determine if and what it backs up.
Please advise.
Regards,
Pierre
