command line events not executed and other problems
Posted: 16 Oct 2021, 06:19
Hello Luis,
1. I have pre-backup events in my backups (still same configuration as yesterday - "Cobian Reflector UI vanishes after a few seconds").
My tasks are imported from Cobian Backup.
Command line : net use y: /delete, Wait for completion: Yes
Pause: 5 second(s)
Command line : net use y: \\... pw /user:usr, Wait for completion: Yes
Pause: 5 second(s)
Cobian Refletor opens an empty command line window and waits until I manually close the window typing "exit".
2. After that, Cobian Reflector states there are errors but shows none of them and ends the backup.
2021-10-16 05:38:29 A backup has started...
2021-10-16 05:38:29 Calculating the number of files. This could take a while...
2021-10-16 05:39:03 Backing up the task "Backup (Tu/Fr-6w-3s)"
2021-10-16 05:39:03 Changing the backup type to full. Reason: first backup of the task.

2021-10-16 05:39:24 The commands have been successfully executed and completed.
2021-10-16 05:39:24 Pausing the working thread 5 second(s)...
2021-10-16 05:39:29 Resuming the working thread after the pause.

2021-10-16 05:39:37 Requesting the creation of a Volume Shadow Copy image for the source...
2021-10-16 05:39:42 The Volume Shadow Copy image has been successfully deleted.
2021-10-16 05:39:42 The backup has ended. There are errors. Consult the log file.
2021-10-16 05:39:43 The log files have been successfully deleted.
3. The two lines marked above are not sent in the mail report although I requested to send the log files "when a task is done".
4. In my imported tasks, object of the mail is defined as "[%COMPUTERNAME] (%DATENOTIME) - %TASKNAME" but taskname does not show up in the object of the mail sent after completion of the task.
5. %DATETIME : the date format in the object of the mail has been reversed between Cobian Backup (16/10/2021) and Reflector (2021-10-16).
I suppose this is bound to the "Date/Time format for the log" that existed in Cobian Backup and not anymore in Reflector.
"This is not a bug, it's a feature" .
We'll get used to it.
6. In the "event" settings of the task, when I select an event and use the arrows (< >) to scroll, after some clicks (sometimes, one is enough), the edit window shows up as if I had clicked on the "edit" button.
This does not occur when no event is seleted or when I use the scroll handle.
Have fun
