There is no conflicts between different jobs. First go through the main setting and make sure you're happy. Then make one backup job with all the settings you want and make sure it does what you want. Then copy that job and change the paths and schedule settings and you'll have two separate backup j...

In my experience the best way to back up quickbooks is to force one machine to do backups every time the database is closed and then do the backup after they leave. Trying to backup the live database will just be frustrating. Or if you leave a copy of QB running 100% of the time you can program back...

Potentially, if you look at the last few lines of the last log file you can tell the result of the last backup and make a decision based on that. It would require adding a post backup even and writing some code to check the status and then return an errorlevel for Reflector to check. Luis probably h...

First off, congratulations, I know how hard it can be to walk away from a labor of love. I wish you the best in the future. Please don't choose Option one, your software is way to good for that. Being here watching the software grow, feeling sad when the last one was sold and then just seemed to van...

When I run a backup with multiple destinations, running the copies in parallel would be awesome. Especially on a differential or incremental as it would not have to iterate the source multiple times to find the few files that need backing up.

I once wrote a VB app to notice when a file changed in a folder and then fore off some external DOS program. I'm guessing you could do a similar thing if you wanted. It's pretty easy because as I recall, the trigger on any change feature is a part of Windows

On the monthly and daily you could run a external script of some sort to test if one of the other backups has already been run or when the month or year backups run create files that are tested and deleted by a script on the other backups so they know to skip today's backup. But I see no way to do i...

Not that I don't love Cobian, but wouldn't:

robocopy d:\ e:\ /XD "System Volume Information" /MIR

do what you want?

acquiring is certainly not spelled adquiring so definitely a spelling error.

Both machines run 24/7 and do not sleep. So backups can happen while I'm sleeping.
