Thanks again for the explanation. Making a copy of the backup isn't practical. I also can't predict today what files I may want to restore tomorrow. Changing the backup job settings I believe will only affect future backups, of which there won't be any. "Backup Maintenance" was what I trie...

Thank you Barry. Follow up question: the documentation for that feature states: Files that were created in a selected session that exist in higher sessions are moved to the next highest session number. Files that were created in earlier sessions but marked as deleted in the selected session are mark...

pruning old backups?

I have several years worth of backups from an old PC taking up a significant amount of space on a NAS. It seems that for one of my old PCs I was keeping all the generations of backup. That PC isn't around any more. Is there a way I can get rid of all but the last generation of the files in that back...

That makes a lot of sense. I will give it a try as soon as I can get back at the computer that needs to be backed up.

Thanks again for your efforts.

Barry, The Database folder is empty on the PC which was being backed up and it is also empty in the backup itself. I appreciate the time you've put into addressing my question. At this point I'm going to just create a new backup job, and in the future I'm going to be a little more careful about upgr...

I wasn't able to find a copy of the .buz file anywhere else other than its primary location on the backup media. On the computer which was backed up by this job the C:\Backups directory is empty. This is also the case on my own PC where I use AISBackup. I assume that that's what you meant by "t...

Hi Barry, thanks for your reply. I don't think that the backup which I wish to re-instate was created by a particularly old version of AISBackup - it is one which was installed about a year ago. There are .buz files on the backup media, but it seems something may be wrong with them. I took a look at...

some old projects won't re-instate?

Hi, I am using AISBackup 2.4.0.303 on WinXP SP2. I am trying to re-instate a backup that was made with a previous installation of AISBackup. I have a couple such backups. For some, after I select Tools->Open Job From Backup Media (the backup is stored on an external USB harddrive) AISBackup prompts ...
