I have no time right now but I can say the following:Barry wrote:Please explain how build 361 corrupts everything. Please explain step by step the single file copy is destroying your existing backup so that the problem can be replicated here and repaired. It would help if you could e-mail the <backup>.buz file or use the help/bug report function to send the complete set of job files for this backup.
For testing the batch job updates I cannot see how a new small backup would corrupt any other backup jobs that you have.
It is possible that the backup contents file was not opened from your backup media, this would cause the backup to select all files, for example if another drive with the same name as the external drive was present on the PC then AISBackup may try and load the contents file from the disk without a backup and therefore backup everything. This problem would also have been with build 360.

A. If I install 360 there's not a single file (well almost) selected from C: and D:.
B. When I install 361 and run the same Preview thousands of apparently unchanged files are selected and I've seen a negative number for the total amount.
C. Without running an actual job, all the files needed for your new parameters are not generated and pushing Test produces no results.
D. Completing an obviously compromised backup might mess up my carefully maintained USB drive and I'll loose the ability to restore from it. Even when I unselect all files AIS still might decide to write the whole selection and even if a prune job might work to revert back to the old situation, I still hate to jeopardize an known good history.
E. My backup has filled an 320 GB drive (hence the hint for supporting delta's) and running any substantial job would need me to prune valuable historical data.
F. 360 (not 361) recently crashed with some sort of memory access problem. (Hmm, might have been pre-360)
G. In the past I've had to deal with similar (if not exactly the same) problems with a previous release. I'm not sure what I did then, I think they went away when I resetted the backup job after salvaging what I could from the drive. It must be in the forum somewhere.
