tinjaw:
If possible, can somebody here shed some light if Samba support has improved with the latest version of Backup4All or knows about another freeware solution?

If you are already running a CentOS box, Veign had a good suggestion.

I think that I've had a lot of hair pulling because of this: my backups live on a Synology NAS and the only way to get B4A to work somewhat regularly was to use a local temp folder and alternate zipping (which is not what the Help file suggests)  >:(

I'll have to test it again, but last go worked  :)

To my big chock I was wrong again: Backup4All does NOT support Unicode at all!!!  :o


Hi,

1. Backup4all does not support Unicode.
To set Backup4all not to show any messages in such cases, please go to Tools->Options->Backup.
Clear (uncheck) "Show file warnings" option. Click OK.

2. To back up file names with other characters than English, please read this article: http://www.backup4all.com/kb/entry/126/

3. To back up without using zip compression, please use the Mirror backup type.
Here is a video tutorial about how to do that: http://www.backup4all.com/kb/entry/200/

If you still have problems, please let us know.

To pull up a slightly old thread...

I really do like Backup 4 all and purchased it at full price a while back when looking for a decent backup to a NAS.

But the software will be in Bits Du Jour on Monday 21 JUL ‘08
