Hi Alex, do I simply tell it to backup to the same path, and give
it permission to replace files? If so, I assume that this would
not delete files that are no longer on your system, so you would
not end up with a true incremental backup. Is that correct?

restoring in Keysoft
I'm not sure about the first one, but an incremental backup
basically backs up any new or modified files as of the last
backup. You still have one backup, it's just updated with the
newest information. No files are deleted, so you can quickly get
large amounts of unwanted data.

Hi all,
Here are two unrelated queries about Keysoft's backup and
restore functionality:
1) Tonight I was doing a full flash disk backup and received the
warning that a file could not be backed up because the data was
invalid. The file in question was a memo that wasn't very
important, so I tried deleting it and proceeding with the backup,
but then I got the same message about another file, at about the
same point through the backup's progression. I tried using a
different medium (a USB flash drive instead of an SD card) to
complete the backup, and this time the backup proceeded without
any errors. I assume this means the SD card is damaged in some
way, but it's an odd error to display - what do you guys think?
2. Does anybody know how you would go about restoring from an
"incremental" backup? Has anybody ever tried this? For example,
would you select the latest backup that was done incrementally,
and Keysoft would scan all the previous backups and restore
accordingly? I have a feeling this isn't how it works.
Best,
Grant
