cajun100 Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 I am curious and found no reference to this on the forum. Does a defragging operation change attributes or the "look" of a file so that Retrospect sees it as "changed" next backup? I seem to have an awful lot of file changes at times, which would not seem the case in ordinary usage ... only thing I could think of is that a defrag might have an impact. BTW, after YEARS of using other backup programs for a small home office, Retrospect is like a gift from Heaven. What a terrific program. Using it with NO problems over a home phoneline network. Great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyJohn Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Retrospect can reset the Archive attribute. This would not make the program see the files as changed the next time around. I am not aware of any defrag program that would have an effect on the file's properties (size, date, time, A attribute) which would flag Retrospect that those files need to be backed up again. What kind of files are you talking about? Could they be Temporary Internet Files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
