Hi folks,
I configured a couple of tasks to transfer my files over FTP, but regardless if I configured all tasks as Incremental, it always do a full backup.

Is this a bug?

I found this old thread:
viewtopic.php?t=789

I have the following configuration:

Code: Select all

<§- -§>
§DuplicatedKeys:True
§CaseSensitive:False
§PairSeparator:=
TaskId=
TaskName=MechVibes
TaskGroup=Software
TaskEnabled=True
TaskIncludeSubdirectories=True
TaskSeparatedBackups=False
TaskUseFileAttributes=False
TaskUseVolumeShadowCopies=True
TaskBackupType=1
TaskSource={ *§*  *§* }
TaskDestination={ *§*  *§* }
TaskSchedule={ *§*  *§* }
TaskPriority=1
TaskFullCopiesToKeep=0
TaskDifferentialCopiesToKeep=0
TaskForceFullBackupCount=0
TaskFixedFullBackup=False
TaskFixedFullBackupDay=5
TaskCompression=0
TaskArchiveComment=
TaskEncryptFiles=False
TaskPassPhrase=
TaskPhraseHint=
TaskCompressionLevel=6
CompressionMethod=0
SplitArchive=0
SplitSize=524288000
TaskExcludeFilters={ *§*  *§* }
TaskExcludeFilters={ *§*  *§* }
TaskExcludeFilters={ *§*  *§* }
TaskCancelIfPreEventFails=False
TaskDoNotExecutePostEventsIfError=False
TaskMirror=False
TaskUseAbsolutePaths=False
TaskAlwaysCreateTopDirectory=True
TaskClearArchiveAttributes=True
TaskIncludeBackupTypeInName=False

TaskCancelIfImpersonationFails=False
TaskImpersonationUserName=
TaskImpersonationDomain=.
TaskImpersonationPassword=

The log should tell you why. It looks like "Changing the backup type to full. Reason..."

That OR you are not cleaning the archive attributes.

OR your FTP if on the source.

1- The logs does not show any "changing the backupt type to full" output
2- I am cleanning the archive attributes, as you see on the config "TaskClearArchiveAttributes=True"
3- My FTP is not on the source, I'm not stupid
