Resuming FTP uploads

Post by BorisE »

I am using CobianReflector for FTP backup (Full backup every month + Increment between) of pretty large files (up to 100GB). Unfortunately, workstation has poor internet connection.

Because of frequent disconnects it could takes a week to upload full backup. It seems that CobianReflector doesn't support resume aborted uploads method on FTP, so if internet connection breaks during file upload, CobianReflector auto reconnect to server but starts uploading last file from the very beginning. And in case of large files the probability that connection will break again before CobianReflector finish file upload is quite high. So this issue is repeated again and again - in my case it takes up to twenty-thirty attempts to upload some files.

Can you please add for FTP backup option "use resume upload"? Or in case the software already capable of doing this can you please point where to look for a problem?

P.S. By the way, you create very good backup software, thank you for your work!
