Backup logical units ?

Post by pnoir »

Hello,

Thank you for upgrading Cobian Backup which has been a very good backup software, and I have tested a lot of it (I still use it on Windows 10).

There was a lot missing in Cobian Backup: in Reflector, is it possible to save logical drives (not C: D: ...) like the names used in a smartphone for example, 'Card', 'SD Card', 'Internal' . If not, actually, it is not easy to back up data from a smartphone, and that is a shame, as there is very little PC software available to do this easily.

Thank you.

Hello,

For information, when it is connected to the PC, the smartphone does not appear in the "Select a directory" window of "New Task", although it is present in Windows Explorer.

I use the standard Windows open dialog... There can files and directories be selected. I really don't know how to handle those. Some of those devices install a driver to handle the files in a special way....Don't think I can handle every bit of available device...

It would be a shame not to be able to manage these logical units, because backing up your smartphone or tablet is very important

Thanks admin for always paying attention to problems and giving quick responses. The solution you give is really suitable.

You can manually transfer files from your smartphone to your PC using USB cables or cloud services like Dropbox or Google Drive.

Just use USB cable with native drivers, that's it, why to make it so complicate with 3rd party tools..
