@rod_b - it should be delaying on Resume as well (if the post-reboot delay option is checked in preferences). Can you check if it does or doesn't do that in your case?

PS. Can you start a separate thread for this or just email me, so to keep this thread on subject?

OK for Pushover. I really like it. I also liked Notifo too though, but then it died :-/

I would like to exclude the contents (which are variable) of a specified folder, but still create the (empty) folder itself as part of the backup.  The current file exclusion implementation doesn't allow this.   Can it be added?

23

Alex Pankratov :

May 02, 2014

Mike, it's already possible to do with manual filters. You basically don't touch the folder in the middle control (the point and click one), but instead add an exclude filter for "files and folders" in a form of C:\Path\To\Your\Folder\* - this will exclude everything in the folder, but not the folder itself.

I'm running beta 65.
I have a  BETA-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx type licence (seen when clicking the Public Beta)
How do I purchase using the code?
When I click on check for updates, I get the message "Regrettably, the update check has failed"
Thank

I've given the app outbound access through the firewall.
Is it using a direct connection or is it trying to fire up a URL in a browser?
Thanks

@nh

Re: purchasing - first you need to upgrade to the release version, e.g. by downloading it from http://bvckup2.com. Then you can either click on the Purchase link from within the app (it's obvious where it is) or you can go to https://bvckup2.com/purchase and enter your BETA-XXX code in a Purchase Code field.

Re: firewall access - the purchase URL is opened in the browser, the license activation first tries to access bvckup2.com/license/activate?... and if it fails, then it will give you an option of going to that URL in your browser (or emailing support). Also, the app pulls on http://update.bvckup2.com/check when it checks for updates.

Great - thanks for clearing up that it is the non-beta release version that has that capability.

Hi. I had been (public) beta testing over the last several months. I just saw a notification to in-app update and I did so. Now at v68, which I guess is no longer beta, and is showing an evaluation license.

Am I still eligible for the discount for Beta testers, and if so, how would I obtain that? Thank you.

Alex Pankratov :

May 23, 2014

Elliot, please look two comments up. It assumes that you got yourself a beta license during the beta period.

Not at the moment, sorry. I do release discount codes every now and then - these get announced via https://twitter.com/bvckup and the mailing list (see "Maillist" at the footer of this page).

Does your product do parity data in case the target media gets bad sectors over time?  If so, is the amount of parity data adjustable?

39

Alex Pankratov :

Aug 07, 2014

No and no. It does however keep a per-block hashes of backup files if you are using delta copying.

40

cybernard :

Aug 07, 2014

Is there any chance you will add parity data as a feature?  A hash only tells you your file is bad it can not fix it.  A couple percent of parity data would allow recovery even with bad sectors.

41

Alex Pankratov :

Aug 08, 2014

This is a very sensible feature request and I looked at adding FEC coding before. However I didn't find a way to easily reconcile it with delta copying, meaning that if I need to update a block in the middle of a backup copy, then I couldn't find a way to recompute parity information efficiently. I will take another look at this as time permits though as it's a good feature to have.

cybernard :

You could computer parity data on the sum total of the changes for each file.
A separate thread could be used so the main thread could continue.  As the sum of all the changes for each file would be counted as a version of that file.

Also a feature where I can mark a folder for no changes and an alter would tell me if there were changes.  For example vacation photos, once edited they should never change, and I got 25,000 of them.  Then choose to allow the changes if say I change the EXIF data.

44

cybernard :

Aug 09, 2014

the only other viable method is to have parity data for each tiny delta change block within each file,which seems inefficient.
