When performing a backup, the archive is created not in the location where the backup is made, but on the system disk

Post by openpass »

Hello! I noticed that the program does a very bad thing, when backing up, it first creates an archive in the temp folder and only then moves it to the location where the backup path is specified. This is unacceptable nonsense. The system SSD drive wears out. I did not find a way to force cobian reflector to create an archive immediately in the folder where the backup should be made. If i deny access to the temp folder, the archive is created in the cache folder. Is it possible to somehow reconfigure this or return back to cobian backup?

Cobian Backup doesn't do this. It compressed directly to the destination.

That's right, the cobian backup doesn't do that, the cobian reflector does that, and how can this be reconfigured?

Thatäs happening because I was NOT planning to add compression AT ALL, for this version. After much nagging I added it against my will as a patch. Shouldn't be hard to change this behavior if the program' development continues somehow.
