Re: Error Message

Thank you, sorry I missed that.

Could you suggest regular expressions that would avoid these errors? Perhaps added to the FAQ? (I am somewhat familiar with regex but dont want to introduce a different error).

Re: Feature Request - incremental

I understand, thank you.

Is it possible to add a feature to allow comparison to existing files/folders even for the first run?

Re: Feature Request - incremental

I unchecked the archive attribute, however the program still switches to full backup with the log entry:

2022-02-25 08:04:48 Changing the backup type to full. Reason: first backup of the task.

Re: Bug Report - Event Prior

I have tried running macroexpress with the file as an argument, but it doe not run the file. The log says the executable was executed, but it does not actually do so. Any ideas?

Feature Request - incremental

I'd like to request that on incremental backups (no compression, no encryption basically copy backup) the first run of an incremental backup STILL checks comparison to the destination for files that have not changed.

Re: Bug Report - Event Prior

I've tried your suggestion with no luck.
