Re: Announcement

ahora sí que aquí lo importante es que tú estés bien, que uses tu tiempo para cosas tuyas y de tu persona. Well said, Tetsu. I respectfully second, with great gratitude. Your line of backup projects have saved me more than a couple times over the years and implementations (including full and immedi...

Re: Save log elsewhere

... 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...

Re: Carpetas vitales / Vital folders

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.

Re: feature request: Global Exclusions List

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. Time elapsed...

Re: Backup of Cobian settings

On windows, my Reflector tasks use a Pre-backup event to create a 7zip archive: The command, here with line-breakups to be more readable: 7z u -r -tzip "C:\_Backup_\_Configs\Cobian_Reflector_Backup_DB_INI_LST_TXT.zip" "C:\Program Files\Cobian Reflector\*.db" "C:\Program Files\Cobian Reflector\*.ini"...

feature request: Global Exclusions List

I've recently switched from Backup 11 (can't recall how many happy and safe years with that product : ) to Reflector. As I tune my new backup tasks, mainly to eliminate unimportant errors, I start to think that this would be much easier if there were a general application setting like "global exclus...

How to compare the filters of tasks?

Curious whether anyone has a straightforward way to compare the filters of tasks? In backup 11 (gravity) I could easily compare the Filter settings of tasks. This was somewhat more straightforward for me than comparing the strings in the Properties tab of the UI. In reflector, MainList structure is ...

Re: Application not running at startup

Well that explains the VSC error. I have no folder c:\Program Files\Backup*
: )

Code: Select all

c:\Program Files>dir /x /a:h /a:d b*
 Volume in drive C has no label.

 Directory of c:\Program Files

Re: Application not running at startup

I used to spend a lot of time making sense of Event Viewer errors and warnings ... eventually accepting that I could rarely make any sense of them or follow them through to any resolution. Nonetheless, I do spot a recurring error 8194 related to VSS. I can't do much with this, but perhaps others can...
