Thanks for pointing out the profiles detail. The scheduling options would make for a great feature, but it is indeed not a deal-breaker.
I'm using the program in English, I guess I'll just have to pay more attention to the tooltip descriptions.
Cheers! |

Hi,
Sorry for the delayed reply. You're absolutely right, I was misreading the description; differential backup is indeed what I was looking for. Maybe the tooltip description could be a bit more clear, still.
By the way, in addition to my previous suggestions, would it be possible to export the profile as a file (XML-like or something) to later import into the program? Also, some scheduling / device options (e.g.: run bkacup every time a certain external dirve is plugged) would be great, and make this even more the weapon of choice :)
Thank you for your work. |

Hi,
Perhaps I am missing something, but I couldn't find a backup plan that does what I mentioned before. Say I have folder A (source) and folder B (destination). If I want folder B to have all the files that folder A has (but not necessarily the other way round) I choose incremental backup; however as far as I understood sor far this plan has a default behaviour of copying files from folder A already present in folder B if the respective timestamps don't match, while renaming the files in folder B. What I suggest is just to add an option to only copy (and overwrite) the files already present in B if the files from A are newer, instead of just adding more files. Is this currently possible?
Thanks for your patience. |

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply!
On the matter of the fine control, I meant that the behaviour regarding clashing filenames could be user choice for each type of backup. For instance, creating an additional choice under "Additional options" such as
On conflicting filenames:
_Overwrite
_Overwrite if newer
_Rename
Perhaps on some backup plans such as full backup this option does not make sense, and thus it could be disabled when that backup type is selected.
What do you reckon? Does this make sense?

Hi,
First of all, great piece of software, and good to know the developer really is in tune with the users :)
Just a few suggestions for a bit of improvement:
- when previewing (the dry run), perhaps the individual/ total amount of data to be transferred could be summarized? Also, the icons on the dry run list could have a tooltip indicating what will happen with each file/folder, as the symbol is often not clear enough
- is it possible to add a bit of fine control to the overall (e.g.:incremental) lbackup behaviour? For instance, the default behaviour of duplicating files when timestamps don't match could be user-choice (with rename (current default), skip or overwrite-if-newer options)
Cheers! |
