Pruning backup
Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2011 1:03 am
I've got a backup that has failed because I hadn't noticed that the storage medium had got full. I've cleared the disk out a little, and then removed some of the files to be backed up from the "Manage Backup" file list in the backup job in question.
When I tried to run the backup, AISBackup treated the job as a new one and wanted to know whether all files should be deleted. The Manage Backup > Undo Backups item was greyed out. I deleted the job, keeping the data, and tried to re-create the job by opening it from the backup medium. AISBackup simply told me to "Please get latest version of AISBackup" in the bottom left-hand corner and didn't re-create the job. But I've got the latest version installed (395). I reinstalled it anyway, but it didn't make any difference.
I know I could delete the backed-up data and start again, but I don't want to lose some of the old backed-up material. Any suggestions about what's gone wrong?
