CobianSoft

I guess I'll just carry on using Cobian for full backups for now.

Yep, I understand that the existing behaviour has been around for a very long time, but I'm trying to understand why that kind of behaviour would be useful for anyone. From the perspective of someone who might want to restore from a backup in the future, there would be a lot of manual work required ...

So, with ease of restoration in mind, is it possible to make Reflector do timestamping at the top level only, while also maintaining a series of incremental backups? It just seems like a far more useful way to organise things. Or am I better off continuing to use a solution like Acronis?

OK, I've narrowed down the cause of the timestamping behaviour. It adds a timestamp to every folder that's in the Sources list. In my case I'm backing up multiple discrete locations at different depths (and on different drives) so they're all over the place, despite using Absolute Paths.

The "Create new separated backups" option has the following description: "If checked, new backup copies will be created using a time stamp." When I read this, I get the impression that a 'backup copy' would be the backup as a whole, so if run on a regular schedule, you would end up with something li...

1 & 2. Aha! I see the issue now. I thought that button to open the theme selector wasn't a button, but merely a preview to show the drop shadow setting. It doesn't look like other native buttons and its proximity to the shadow settings reinforces this. Perhaps that could be made more intuitive with ...

Awesome! It sounds like you've got this all under control. :) Yes, it looks like the persistent flashing also occurred in older versions. I probably didn't notice because I was exiting it immediately after completing the backup, while I kept Reflector open for much longer while experimenting with al...

Accompanying my previous thread with all the bug reports, here's my list of other suggestions for improving Reflector... 1. Cobian's toaster notifications are a bit unsightly and don't match the OS. I would personally reduce the border radius and make the background color more neutral and remove the...

Hi there! I've actually been using Cobian Backup as a secondary backup utility for several years so I guess I should start by saying thanks for the work you put into it. I'm glad to see you're able to keep developing it at this point and I was curious to see what changes would make it into Reflector...
