Hi Hugh The older zip files contain files that are still in the retained sessions that have not changed since they were backed up. You could use the Manage Backup / Validate (Test) Backup option which will tidy up the backup if there were any files removed from the backup and the ‘prune zip files’ o...

Sorry for the delay answering this. I need to look into this problem some more to find out why this is happening. You should be able to restore the destination by using Manage Backup / Change Synchronise Job Settings / Destination Settings / Add Destination / Network (button). If you need help with ...

Hi Jeff

The folder size option on the restore form will be in the next release of AISBackup.

Hi Hugh Just a quick note to let you know I have started on an SFTP over SSH interface albeit early days. At least I can logon, navigate directories and transfer files in some prototype code. I am testing using a Synology NAS locally and I have access to a remote SFTP. I intend to make this compatib...

Hi Jeff

This was never implemented on the file restore option, only on the 'Backup Maintenance' option. I will look at providing this option.

The instructions for Windows 10 are in this PDF on page 19 https://aiscl.co.uk/dl.php?p=1 An pre-used USB will be formatted, I suggest you use a new one. The USB and CD cannot be booted using an EFI booting system, many PCs can be set to use boot manager in the CMOS settings. If you have access to a...

Hi Chris Having the same backup job with and without a password is not a good idea, it may mean in the future that both will be unreadable. You may copy an existing backup using Windows (drag and drop) to another disk that has been added to the list of disks for that backup, when a new backup is run...

Sorry for the delay replying to this. Could you try the Tools / Edit Windows Boot menu option to see if that is able to finish the set-up of the boot menu? The restored version of Windows should be in the upper pane, if not select it from the lower pane, click Add to Manu then click Save. Do you kno...

AISBackup does not support SFTP and there are no immediate plans to use this protocol. I understand that this would be nice to have and I will do some research.

Hi Hugh I have run several ‘Update’ tests using Windows 10 and have found the following: 64-bit Windows AISBackup running as administrator: The update works 64-bit Windows AISBackup not running as administrator (UAC mode): The update works 32-bit Windows AISBackup running as administrator: The updat...

Hi Jeff The overall copy should have the same 6 discs, with 6 and 7 following disc 4. You can see the contents of each disc by opening the 'cdi' file with notepad (drag and drop onto an open notepad document). The numerous error messages may be left over from some test code and will be removed in th...

Hi Jeff

To be honest I have not used this feature for years but I have an answer.

When a disc is removed the files will be reselected but added to a new disc. I removed disk_05 and re-ran the copy and the exact same files on disk_05 were reselected to be written to disk_09.

Barry

Hi Jeff It is a real shame that the backup re-ran as this will likely create different disc layouts if earlier backups are pruned. However there is a file that contains the contents of each disc for the current copy, and from this it should be possible to recreate disc 5 - even if an option needs to...

Hi Jeff

Which method of making the discs did you use, 'Mastered Joliet Format Disc' or 'Universal Disc Format'?

it may take a while to try and emulate the same conditions of the failure you had.

An update has been made to the one way copy option to not select folders for candidates for deletion if all files in their root folder have been selected for copy. This is in pre-release here https://aiscl.co.uk/aisbackupbeta.php
