Re: Request

Okay then, I didn't grasp that form your earlier post. But, while you're fiddling with this control anyway, how about adding a few fields to support external zippers and encrypters Work is been done on presenting parameters to the post run job. Your request is too vague for me to understand what yo...

While experimenting I think I've seen instances where the XML file wasn't created yet when the post-run call occurred. I said earlier: AISBackup is supposed to be able to pass an xml file that contains details of the backup job just ran, however this is not working properly and does not work for mu...

Re: Batch commands (~DOS)

Re: Optional parameters to pre and post run jobs

okay - while we're at it: Does anybody else want to list some optional parameters to be passed to the pre and post run jobs? So far we have we will include: /d{lastdestinationpath}, e.g. /d"c:\backups\my docs\my documents" The quotes will be omitted if the path did not contain spaces. The...

Re: Last used destination letter

Would you be able to read an xml file in your post run job? I suppose I could but it sort of defeats my goal in simplifying things; a backup is the only lifeline there is and I need clarity or else wind up with files missing from the image. I've found a couple of ways to filter out the drive letter...

Pre/Post run job drive parameter

Barry, I have a backup job that uses multiple external destination drives (neat feature, btw). I need to run a post-job that needs the destination drive letter, but that letter changes depending on the drive attached. I can't seem to find any reference on how to access and place that info into the p...

Re: Time Zone

I use NTFS everywhere, except USB pendrives, most of which slow down too much with the journalling NTFS does. I cloned my trashed backup from the other drive I use as an alternating two-drive backup set. AISBackup reads the job from the drive that's connected at that time and adds all it's missing t...

Some restored files immediately show up as changed

Hi Barry, Scenario: 1. Restored a 2007 backup to disk, 35 GB total. 2. Next Preview tallies 9018 files, 3.685,42 MB, which seems to be correct, all those are on other drives/folders. 3. The 'Select files to remove from backup' window shows 21,889,63 MB worth of changes in the restored folders, but I...
