... although I'm not sure I understand how it should work. I installed 2.5.00. Rebooted. Updated my registry**. Rebooted. Checked my backup jobs in Reflector ... and Reflector updated the main db, list, logs, ... in the original installation folder ... rather than in my custom path: cobian-reflector...

Great option - I wish it weren't so hidden: No reference in the docs that I can find. I finally tracked it down after searching the old Backup forums.

Thanks for the thumbs-up. The more I think about this, the more I like it : ) Just a bit of empirical follow-up for a Win11 pc, however anecdotal : ) After tuning my tasks over the past week, mainly to avoid bloat, my cumulative backup to NAS has gone from this: Backed up files: 171444.

Nonetheless, I do spot a recurring error 8194 related to VSS. I can't do much with this, but perhaps others can...
