Bug report: Foto's

[Brian2]

The program always only backups what's new or changed.
With one exception: my folder with photo's.

They are always backed up. Doesn't matter if the time between backups is one minute, one day or a month, they always get backed up. The contents of the folder hasn't changed in 5 years.

Any way to fix this?

If you make a new backup where only the photos are selected, and leave all other settings to their defaults, does this now work? I’ve never seen this problem before in 24 years. If so on the main AISBackup screen selected (just click it) press * until ‘*** All Debug Mode ***’ is displayed in the caption, re-run the backup and please send the log file by e-mail (bugreport@aiscl.co.uk). The debug mode displays information as to why a file is selected for backup. If your photos folder contains thousands of pictures, it might be best to use a sub folder instead.

It is possible to selected individual files to ‘always backup’ but not folders.

Barry I've sent the logs.

To all who might be reading this: All the troublesome files had the year 1615...

Fixing that made the backup go perfectly.


Barry, now you see how hard it is to make software idiot-proof
