Re: Reflector isn't backing up certain open files

I did set that. Does the service have to be restarted afterward?

Re: Error message - the safe mirror directory doesn't exist or cannot be accessed

Well one observation I'll make is that it doesn't look like a warning. In fact, the log entry starts with "Err". Someone like me gets antsy when there is any error with the backup. Changing the "Err" to "Warn" would help.

Re: Reflector isn't backing up certain open files

hold on... something odd is going on. I'm running further tests, but it appears as though perhaps the files ARE there and are hidden. However, I can't see them with File Explorer - even though I have the Hidden Files checkbox checked. If I Shift-right click that folder and select "open command windo...

Re: Reflector isn't backing up certain open files

I set the logging to verbose. Do I need to go someplace else to see those logs? Note the "2 files" backed up. I know the two files that *should be* in the backup, but they aren't there. I don't know what to do in order for you to recreate this. I do know that I can run an xcopy and the files will be...

Re: Error message - the safe mirror directory doesn't exist or cannot be accessed

In case you have this same message, the setting for the Safe Mirror location is under Tools | Options | Advanced. The reason I got that message is because the program's service is run using a service account -- not the account that I use to login to the machine. The program defaults to a folder in t...

Reflector isn't backing up certain open files

I have Reflector 0.9.18 installed on ServerA. I am trying to back up a folder tree from ServerB. The backup is stored on a NAS. Both servers are Server 2016. There are files in the folder tree that do not get backed up. In other words, those files are not in the backup destination once the job is co...

What is the right way to set up backup schedule for FULL daily with hourly differential?

I'd like to set up a backup schedule that runs a full backup each morning (maybe 6:00 AM), then runs a differential backup each hour after that up until a certain time - maybe 7:00 PM. I can't figure out the correct combination of schedule settings to do this. EDIT: Maybe the Timer option is what I ...

Re: Error message - the safe mirror directory doesn't exist or cannot be accessed

FYI I get this same message. It's listed in the Log as an error (not a warning). The "mirror" option is already un-checked in the Advanced options area.

I am using the 0.9.18 BTEA version.
