Cobian Backup Forum

Might I suggest that, when you reply, you check again in a day or two for followup on your responses, before you take extended time off again?

Thanks!

Does that mean that Cobian Backup's successor won't happen?

Anyway, thanks for your help. We appreciate that you do this even if you don't have an obligation to. And we are thankful for your great software

Cheers!

Are you using absolute paths in your task? Is so, it could result in this kind of paths names in some situations.

I do. I mentioned it in the post above.

If I didn't, the first file or folder in the source list (for some reason) would be saved in the root of the compressed backup file.

Cannot really reproduce the issue. Must the space be at the beginning of the name? The sorting is actually done not by file name but by the whole path ;) I figured. It's space anywhere in the path. In the .lst file, they are enclosed by two double quotes ""path with space"", which I think will put ...

- sort source files alphabetically or as explorer

- expected: all files are sorted accordingly

- actual: files/folder with a space character in the filename/path will be added at the top

thanks
