I had a problem backupping 6 files. Verification failed.
Long story short, I looks like AIS tripped the slash. /
Could you make AIS accepting that char because Windows accepts it too. (and the backup part of AIS too)
Test Failed
Re: Test Failed
Hi Brian,
Please supply a filename for me to test. However, the forward slash is still listed as an invalid character for filenames.
There is a massive upgrade to AISBackup underway and it is hoped a beta version of this will be ready some time in May 2025. Amongst other things some dates were tripping up AISBackup and the backups will support dates from 1st January 1601 to 31st December 9999 going forward. AISBackup has also been updated to support the language advanced option 'Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support', the current version fails.

Re: Test Failed
Hi Brian,
I did some research and found that filenames can include the division slash / that looks the same, and I can confirm that this causes validation to fail in the current version of AISBackup. The file is backed up but the validation removes it. Disabling validation keeps the file in the backup, but the file cannot be restored using the current version of AISBackup, but the same file can be restored using the development version. The development version of AISBackup supports both backup, validation and restore of these files.
This is the first report of this problem in nearly 25 years of AISBackup.
