jlbrown Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Version 9 has being going great for us. However I now notice that since 3 Jan, although each backup was performed without errors, no files have actually been backed up. This is for both Mac and Windows clients. Server is Version 9.0.0 (319). Not sure if it is just an error in the logging though, as the size of the snapshot stored changes each time. For example, first time it says: + Normal backup using James Backup at 30/01/12 (Activity Thread 1) To Backup Set JLB Backup... - 30/01/12 6:35:09 PM: Copying Reliant on James Brown’s Computer 30/01/12 6:35:09 PM: No files need to be copied 30/01/12 7:04:22 PM: Snapshot stored, 363.5 MB 30/01/12 7:05:04 PM: Comparing Reliant on James Brown’s 30/01/12 7:04:22 PM: Snapshot stored, 363.5 MB 30/01/12 7:06:15 PM: Execution completed successfully Duration: 00:31:05 (00:25:48 idle/loading/preparing) and the next time that backup runs (the next day) it says: + Normal backup using James Backup at 31/01/12 (Activity Thread 1) To Backup Set JLB Backup... - 31/01/12 6:38:29 PM: Copying Reliant on James Brown’s Computer 31/01/12 6:38:29 PM: No files need to be copied 31/01/12 7:03:20 PM: Snapshot stored, 362.7 MB 31/01/12 7:03:52 PM: Comparing Reliant on James Brown’s Computer 31/01/12 7:05:01 PM: Execution completed successfully Duration: 00:26:32 (00:21:24 idle/loading/preparing) Any suggestions?

Lennart_T Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Not sure if it is just an error in the logging though, as the size of the snapshot stored changes each time. By how much? The snapshot is around 360MB each time. What kind of selector/filter do you have? All files except cache files? Or a custom selector/filter? In the latter case, try a predefined selector.

jlbrown Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I know it was roughly the same, but presumably something happened if it is different? Maybe not. I have modified the "All Files Except Cache Files" rule. Looking at my Rule I have made a mistake. One of my selectors said to 'exclude all files whose filename contains' and then the text field was blank. So yes, I was telling it to exclude all files! Have fixed it now. Running a backup, will see how it goes. Will post back here. Thanks Lennart, James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlbrown Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Yes, it all worked fine: 1/02/12 12:31:38 AM: Execution completed successfully Completed: 30719 files, 3.6 GB Performance: 353.1 MB/minute (324.2 copy, 387.5 compare) Duration: 00:34:50 (00:14:01 idle/loading/preparing) Thanks for your great suggestion. BTW, I'm really liking version 9 - well done Retrospect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
