Moving to dev list...
And then I didn't like what I was seeing under Backup, Edit List, that
is, a red X at C:\Documents and Settings forced by Boxi because I had
DocsSettings
{
Path = C:\Documents and Settings
ExcludeDirsRegex = .*
ExcludeFilesRegex = .*
AlwaysIncludeFile = C:\Documents and Settings\boxitest.txt
}
So, I guess that's a
BUG: ExcludeDirsRegex = .* plus ExcludeFilesRegex = .* forces
excluding entire dir tree, ignoring AlwaysIncludeFile.
So, I tried an experiment with
C_PF_BoxBackup
{
Path = C:\Program Files\Box Backup
}
and it backed up fine (even with the "Certificate does not match"
warning under the Configuration panel).
BUG: Certificate checking has a hex/ascii translation problem.
The Backup Progress panel, Statistics, Files, Elapsed "24" seemed
correct; Bytes said "51 (null)" -- not sure what that means.
POSSIBLE BUG: Bytes calcs bad?
Testing Restore, I pointed to some old file, set Restore Destination,
New Location, to a non-existing C:\PF\Box Backup\test\ directory, and
it restored the single selected file correctly to the boxi-created new
test\ directory.
BUG: Well almost restore correctly: it was restored with a datestamp
4 hours in the future (time zone issue, I'm sure). (And so, future
backup attempts gave Warning: file modified in the future. So I
deleted that restored file.
BUG: That newly created C:\PF\Box Backup\test\ directory never
appeared in the Backup Files or Restore Files panels after further
Backup runs, until I restarted Boxi, then they showed up fine.
(The Restore to Date function on the Restore panel looks very
interesting, but I haven't tested it yet.)
Not sure if the menu, View options are working (show old/deleted
files). Deleted files look like they are greyed out in the Restore
Files panel, and that seems fine. Not sure how old files are shown, so
I tried to test it by modifying a file under the test\ directory.
BUG: Attempts to restart boxi and look under Restore Files and
navigating to that test\ directory caused boxi to crash with a
"boxi.exe has encountered a problem" window.
I'll keep playing with it.
Thanks again, Chris, for all the hard work!
