Virus Scan for AJC Active Backup

Van Swofford This is a great piece of software! I don't write code without it as my first line of defense. I also use the other AJC products, and can't recommend anything more highly.

adrian williams I'll second that. I installed it at an accountants and it saved them a lot of emarassment when one of their hard drives failed - 6 months worth of work recovered - thanks to ajc backup !
This is a must-have piece of software, plus great support.

Kevin P This is a great product. I've been using it for a couple of years now and it has saved me more than once. It sits unobtrusively in the task tray, quietly backing up all my important files as they change. Note that only changes (deltas) are backed up, so it is very low bandwidth. The author is very responsive to support questions and feature suggestions. Highly recommended.

Michalush ~007~ I've installed the software a couple days ago to try before I buy. I like it a lot so far (being a backup freak, LOL). Don't expect a sexy interface, but do expect a great program that backs up in REAL-TIME the file types you defined in the folders you selected and archives their various versions. The versioning feature is great. I wish I could backup to multiple locations though (online + on my hard drive), maybe in future releases?

Bradley MacDonald I purchased this product over a year ago. Had great support from the author. Very satisfied with it. So much that I offer it at a discount to my own customers (I am a shareware author myself).
For the price - just one use and it pays for itself. I have used it a number of times to go back and get a previous version of a file. It is so easy to use - powerful and provides such a great sevice - that I recommend it to all my friends and co workers.

Adrian Williams In fairness to Andrew, I contacted him about AJC Directory synchroniser (the FTP side of it) and my comments were taken on board & a software update was made available quite quickly. I've used AJC backup for years now and I can't think of any any significant functional changes so I'm not concerned that updates haven't been made. I'd rather use proven software than buggy revsions.
I've recommended AJC backup to several clients and they've bought the software. It does exactly what it's supposed to do, nothing more, nothing less.

Bob S I currently use SugarSync online backup, which I believe uses Diff and keeps previous versions as well. SugarSync seems to offer the same backup capability as ActiveBackup, only the backup is stored online.

Even though there appears to be some overlap, I'm still considering Active Backup as I think it might be good to have a parallel version on my laptop.

I'd welcome any thoughts from the developer or others on these two backup strategies and solutions. Are they redundant? or complementary? overkill? etc.

Thank you.

Van Swofford I agree with Adrian. This is a great product, does what it's supposed to do and does it reliably. The fact that there haven't been any updates recently is a testament to the fact that it doesn't need any updates. I set it up years ago, and never have to fool with it unless I need to bring back a file. Good stuff!

Adrian Williams Bob, AJC Backup with the free 2GB storage from Dropbox gives you the best of both worlds, excellent backup in real time plus offline storage. Sugarsync is pretty much the same as dropbox i believe. I suggest you give AJC a try before tomorrow to see how useful they are together. As I've said elsewhere, AJC backup saved an accountants a great deal of work when one of their hard drives failed. 6 months worth of work recovered. That was before dropbox was available to provide secure offline storage as further peace of mind.
AJC backup stores files in a compressed format and the recovery features are very flexible, allowing you to recover an earlier version to a different folder etc.
My setup allows ajc backup to backup to a NAS drive and this folder is backed up using dropbox. This gives me local and offline backup. Ive experienced occasional problems with dropbox and this is verified on their forums. It depends on certain type of files and whether they're open etc. Look back on the posts for Roboform and this confirms it. The files that ajc backup generates have never been a problem since they're generated then shut, allowing dropbox to upload them. If you rely just on dropbox or Sugarsync you may find that the file you need may not be there when it comes to the crunch. For such a low price it's worth including AJC backup in your arsenal of PC tools.
One final thought - AJC backup backs up only the file that's changed in real time rather than other backup programs that create a zipped file of the whole folder, whether its full, differential or otherwise. The demand on the PC system is very small.

Dan B @Bob: I use SugarSync, but I would never rely on it for a backup. Because it does a sync and not a backup, it is routinely writing over the local copies of your files. All it would take is one little bug in the SugarSync server to lose your data on the server and then push garbage files down to your local copy(s). So I use SugarSync to sync, and have everything backed up with IDrive.com as well (where I have to initiate a restore). I'm still considering getting AJC because it grabs every revision of my code and makes it very easy to quickly see the differences between versions. Both SugarSync and IDrive keep a very limited number of revisions.

Michelle . I've been using AJC Active Backup for over a year and it's excellent. I always have some work-in-progress going in Word, and I feel much safer knowing I have AJC working in the background. The versioning feature saved my butt more than once.
For heavy duty backup I use ShadowProtect (from StorageCraft), it's a great imaging software.
For online backup/sync I use Synplicity at www.syncplicity.com/ . It's similiar to Dropbox, only you don't have to drag the files you want uploaded into one folder. You simply check the folders you want synced/backed up. Synplicity is a very easy program to use and you can choose between 2 plans, 2 GB storage free plan or 50 GB storage for about 9-plus $ per month. I already upgraded to the 50 GB one.

Bob S Adrian/Bob - thank you both for your comments. I'm definitely interested in AJC Active Backup, as it seems to complement the online solutions.

Dan, would you mind elaborating on your comment that "SugarSync does a sync and not a backup." I thought I had done due dligence, and selected the online backup solution that best met my requirements. Now I'm concerned that I've overlooked or misunderstood something. I'm unclear on the value of having iDrive in addition to SugarSync.

(I realize this is a little off-topic, but I think anyone considering AJC is probably looking at online solutions as well).

Thank you.

marek jedlinski Two quick questions to existing users (can't find these in feature specs):

1. Can I define an external app as the diff viewer? I.e., if I want to use Beyond Compare to view differences, can I? (I'm guessing maybe not, since the files being compared are not separate physical files?)

2. What are the retention options for archived versions? Do you specify how many revisions you want kept, or are there more sophisticated settings for that?

Aug 21 2009 at 11:15am Copy Link

0

Andrew Cutforth Yes you can specify an alternative diff viewer. The files are extracted for comparison so they are separate at that point.

Yes you can specify how many revisions to keep. Also you can tell it to thin the archive down after a few days. e.g. you might have 10 revisions for a file today because you have saved it 10 times but after a few days you might not want all these revisions so it can consolidate these into one revision per day.

Frank Stephens AJC Active Backup and FileHamster perform similar functions in different ways. AJC compresses files and stores deltas, FileHamster stores the entire file. FileHamster is far more sophisticated, but can be expensive, depending upon version. The FileHamster developer has lost sight of the overall design, so some of its many features don't work or don't work as expected. Failure is designed into both AJC and FileHamster. AJC doesn't work with Unicode filenames. FileHamster appends a timestamp to filenames, which means it fails on long filenames. FileHamster handles failure better because it logs errors and continues, AJC hangs until a user responds to a prompt. Both hang while building a list of files in the archive. I thought FileHamster was stunningly slow at that, but AJC is even worse. I may just go with an essentially continuous-backup solution.

Andrew Cutforth To be fair Active Backup may take a while to create the initial archive but you only have to do this once. Then on a day to day basis it is just detecting what files you are working on and backing them up, using very few system resources. If there is an error it does carry on and just logs it on the process list be to resolved.

Andrew Cutforth GoodSync is synchronization software rather like AJC Sync. AJC Active Backup is a continuous backup solution aimed at your working files e.g. dcouments, spreadsheets, project files, programming files etc. It has a built in revision control system meaning it backs up every version of a file every time you save it but it only needs to save the changes to the file each time so it does not use much space on disk. The idea is that it protects you while you work allowing you to go back to any version of a file and also to use the built in diff tool to see what you have changed in a file. So no it is not nuts to have more than one type of sync/backup solition in use at the same time. For myself I use AJC Active Backup to protect me while I am working so if I make a mistake or get a file corrupted I can go back to an earlier version in the day but I also use AJC Sync to sync the files to another drive for backup.

Glen Hilton RE Michael K
I use both and each can be tailored to suit different programs and personal priorities. Each has its own pros and cons though both are worthwhile and are certainly cheap insurance..

Andrew, it would be nice to see some updates-improvements in AJC Backup. I'm sure some of the registered user feedback and suggestions go back several years now so there's probably a few of us that keep hoping that V2 may also contain some other tweaks and features rather than just bringing the interface in line with AJC Sync and updating the internal diff tool. Other than a windows 7 update it looks like closer to 4 and a half years that anything noteworthy has been added. "No time scale for the new release". That's a concern for potential customers and existing customers alike. Otherwise, AJC Backup is a straightforward and useful App that also integrates nicely with other comparison programs.

Andrew Cutforth All file formats can be handled by the backup because the backup process just sees the file as a binary file and backs up the bits that have changed. Where file formats are more important is if you use the diff tool to compare what has changed. There is a binary diff mode that will work for small files but the most useful view is the text compare which will work on any files that contain text and MS Word documents.

Bradley MacDonald As a note - I have been a VERY happy customer for a few years now. This is a very stable application that does exactly what it says it does.
I develop my own software - and use this in addition to source tools like SVN. It has saved my bacon on more than a few occassions. Being able to go back one save is a huge time saver for me when I make a simple mistake. Being able to compare and see what changes I have made over the last few days or months is great.
For the price if you are changing your documents (or source code) on a regular basis - this is a steal of a deal.

Merle One Hi,

I am a long time user of AJC Active Backup and I really recommend it. I just hope it doesn't get ".NET'd" as some other products because it's just perfect as it is now (and I don't like .NET, for many reasons I will not detail here)

It has saved me quite often when editing big excel files or other office documents. Before doing a risky edit, I just click on save and I now I can revert easily to this version, whatever happens next. File renaming is well handled, just to mention this important detail.

I also use it to monitor config files of various software so that when I change the configuration, I can easily revert to a previous one without restoring the whole system.

VLM Thanks for the great and informative reviews, Bradley and Merle.

Just to be clear, the website says "AJC Active Backup sits silently in the status bar on your PC and archives files as you work with them. Each time you change a file and close it a copy is archived."

But if I understand you correctly, the program actually creates an incremental binary backup on every save, not just on close ... is this correct? Or perhaps something in between/configurable/selectable?

Thanks!

Bradley MacDonald OK- just to clarify how I use the application. I have it installed and tell it to monitor multiple directories - where I store my programming source files, word documents, excell, web site HTML files, etc.
Then - whenever I change those files (it does not matter what program I use to change them) - it automatically creates a 'version' in the archive. For the source files (ie text) - it creates a diff file and only stores that. If it is something like an image file - then it stores the whole file. For the source files - I have one that has over 300 versions - and it is only about 10% larger than the source file itself. This would not be the same for image files (unless the author has somehow found a way to do this).

When I am programming - I do a Subversion check in (source code control) each day. This is a great way of backing up my work each day - and it also allows me to work on a project with others. However, during the day if something goes wrong with my source code or document - I am screwed because I could lose a days work right there. But because I have AJC Active Backup running on the machine - EVERY time I save a file - it is versioned!! This means that if I have been working all day on a program file - and at 4pm I screw something up badly - I don't have to go back to the check out from Subversion I did first thing in the morning - I can go back 5 minutes to my last save of the file. This SAVES me HUGE amounts of TIME!!!
I cannot say this enough... If you are programming - or working on documents, text files,etc - where you are making a large number of changes - Then you should have this tool!!!! $18 for peace of mind is a no brainer...

Merle One @The Presiding...

Yes, it's selectable : for some files you may chose to archive just after the save or after the close, but it depends on the application. With office, save is ok, with some others, you must wait for the file to close. For some other apps like UltraRecall, you can use "save" but since the file is updated even when nothing changes, you add load to your system, so it's better in that case to wait for the file to be closed.
This option is accessible through the "Backup open files" option, and you select which file types are to be backup'd

"In the normal windows file explorer etc you will now have a new option if you right click on a file. This lets you access the associated archive for the file so that you can see what changes have been made and undo changes etc."

Is it not correct to say that some direct support is needed to make the same right-click functionality appear in another application such as DOpus, TotalCommander, or the like? I'm not a programmer, so I realize that I could be way off here. :)

I have tried to place an order and even though I've changed the address to our USA address, the order form does not update to remove the VAT which it says it will do once the Country location is changed.

Could someone please get this fixed so I can place the order.

Thanks

Unfortunately we don't have any control over the VAT -- it's something that the payment processor (in this case ShareIt) implements based on a specific country's tax requirements.

Michael K @ Roger
I understand that and normally when I change the Country code the VAT is removed and in fact it says that on the page.
Under the County label on the order page it says VAT ID and on the right of that it has a link that says "info". When you click on it a pop up box explains that the VAT is updated when the Country is changed.
Normally this works fine and as soon as I put in our USA address and change the County to USA the VAT is removed.

I appreciate this is down to Share it but would if you could tell them this is not currently updating properly on this order page so they can rectify it.

many thanks

Michael

Glen Hilton RE suggestions,
Hello Andrew , a couple of small suggestions were sent to you last year,

Nov 2010
"Sorry for the late reply on this. This is useful feedback and it will be
taken into account when producing AJC Active Backup v2. The application is
to be overhauled and written for .Net. The new application will have a
similar look and feel to the new AJC Sync v3 shown here:"

Andrew. I'm sure there would be others that have made a comment or sent you a suggestion in the last 4 and a half years.
It's amazing how user feedback can improve what is already commendable software. BDJ Line Reader was a recent example.

The version link on your site was showing a 404 yesterday. Don't know if you have rectified that issue.

VLM I so appreciate this conversation! I'm drawing several conclusions:

1. This is a very good product.

2. There is likely to be no substantive, further development of this product, except perhaps as absolutely necessary. By "absolutely necessary", I mean, for example, that some change might be required to make the product run under Windows 8. I believe this developer would likely get that done. But short of such a need, my impression is that if one buys this product today, then one should assume that whatever is there today, is there for good.

I do not mean this as a condemnation of the developer. We all become interested in things at various times in our lives, then become interested in other things later on. I simply believe, based on what has been shared here today, that this may be the case with respect to this developer and this product.

That said, the product still seems, at least to me, quite worth buying.

Make sense to others?

Andrew Cutforth Well we do actually have a back end already written for v2 and a bare bones UI but as I said earlier the number of users who want new features is limited compared to the number of people asking for extra things in AJC Sync and so AJC Sync has had the overhaul first.

AJC Software - Sep 28 2011 at 4:36pm Copy Link

0

Joel Koltner Presiding Emissary -- I think your conclusions are correct, although there are additional reasons development slows or mostly stops on products: They get to the point where they're good enough for the vast majority of potential users, and there's no longer much point in continuing to make changes just for the sake of making changes.

Look at something like Microsoft Office: For the vast majority of users, are there really that many new features that people actually use? Or are the vast majority of users utilizing few features that weren't already present in, say, the 2003 (or even 1997!) eversion, but just with a flashier ("ribbon") interface? I'd argue it's mostly the later.

Unfortunately it's human nature to equate "newer" with "better," and hence a lot of effort in this world goes wastsed, IMO, in just changing the look of a product without any real changes in functionality.

Heck, a lot of people still swear by LaTeX for document preparation, and -- other than bug fixes -- its core functinality hasn't changed in a couple of decades now!

Glen Hilton Sometimes changes are detrimental and nowadays, quite a few developers offer older versions. I use a few older version apps for this very reason though unless suggestions are discussed or considered by real users, for or against, the development will never reflect the full potential for the end user. In many cases Its the end user that takes the time to let developers know how its going, iron out the bugs and how it may compare to the latest alternatives. I thought this information would all be helpful to a developer. Its certainly made a difference with other developers, their software and ultimately the end user.. Glen

VLM Thank you Andrew, Joel, and Glen. Again, I did not intend my comments as a condemnation, but rather as an acknowledgement that the product we see today is the product we will likely see for some fairly long and indefinite period of time. Several have commented on the value and effectiveness of the product, it is obviously excellent and valuable just as it is.

I do question the wisdom of writing for .Net Framework. Some developers are actually moving away from that technology. Some here may recall such a discussion during the recent MailWasher promotion on BDJ.

Regardless of all these things, Bradley's comment wins the day for me:

"This means that if I have been working all day on a program file - and at 4pm I screw something up badly - I don't have to go back to the check out from Subversion I did first thing in the morning - I can go back 5 minutes to my last save of the file. This SAVES me HUGE amounts of TIME!!! ... I cannot say this enough... If you are programming - or working on documents, text files,etc - where you are making a large number of changes - Then you should have this tool!!!! $18 for peace of mind is a no brainer... "

I develop long documents, and sometimes I face exactly the sort of challenge Bradley descirbes here. So I see the value in the product, and I have purchased a license today and look forward to having it save my derriere in the future. :)

Cheers!

Andrew Cutforth Yes it still works for graphics software although the space used for the archiving of each file is likely to be a little more. It saved me once when I opened a graphic file, changed it and meant to do a saveas but instead saved it over the original. With a few clicks I was able to get the original image back.

big-red I guess that the discussions will be re-booted here now that the product is being offered again. I've been reviewing the older comments, which are very illuminating.
I tried Beyond Sync, which seemed good on paper, but conflicted on my system with, probably, Rollback Rx.
Someone suggested the free app, AutoVer. I tried it, and found it to be good, if somewhat limited on options.
I assumed that AJC does a similar job, but with more options. Now I realise the power of AJC.
Autover saves the whole file, with some versioning options. AJC saves the original, then only the changes to the binary file, with the changes being reviewable.
As I want to sync large files, as well as live-sync smaller working documents, I can see an opportunity to use both programmes.
I bought TreeProjects from BDJ last time offered. It's great, but saves your many smaller docs into a larger single file. This suits AutoVer ok, but not ideal for AJC.
AJC Active Backup does have a dated ui. However, I'd like to see more functional options worked on, like password protection / encryption.
Thanks Andrew for a great app.

Andrew Cutforth Yes there is a new version coming with a UI similar to AJC Sync.

To backup open files you need to tell it which file patterns are ok to backup when open. e.g. to backup newer Word documents when they are open you need to do the following:
Go to menu Tools, Options, Backup open files and add to the File patterns with *.docx e.g.
*.doc;*.dot;*.xls;*.dotx,*.docx;*.xlsx

Amit 1) What is meant here by - "AS YOU CHANGE THEM" -
it automatically backs up files as you change them, and shows you a comprehensive log of what's changed.

For eg. I have a .txt file named file01.txt - and I rename it to file90.txt then is there a way to log the change and also revert the original filename as well - from within AJC backup ?
And even if it was renamed 7 days ago ?

2) And if there is a .ini file of a software that is updated after I use the software for some time - is there any way to monitor it and get a log of it + also GET BACK the original .ini -
And if the .ini changes every day - can I get back all past 3 day's .ini file ?

Thanks.

Andrew Cutforth Files are backed up after you save them when Windows detects a file has changed. Each file is backed up into its own archive that can store multiple versions of the file. You can view this archive to see a history of what has happened to the file and use the diff view to see what has changed. Also you can see a recent log of files that have been archived.

If you rename a file it will rename the associated backup archive file also. It does not log the fact that a rename was done as such but if you look in the archive you can see that earlier backups had a different name and if you manually restored from an archive you could use the earlier name.

It does not matter how long ago it was. You configure how long your old archived versions will be kept for.

You need to make sure that file types that you want backed up while in use are listed in Tools, Options, Backup open files.

Andrew Cutforth When the new version is released, users who have purchased recently will get free upgrades and others will get discounted upgrades.

Andrew Cutforth I don't know about History Explorer but I just read a quick review of it on the net.

It looks like it does not recognise and backup new files, only those that are added to its database at the start. AJC Active Backup does detect and backup new files.

It probably stores the whole file again each time it backs it up. AJC only stores the changes to the file each time making your archives more compact.

It probably does not have a built in diff. AJC can show you a diff so you can compare different versions of a file to see what has changed over time.

I suggest you download and try the trial version.

Andrew Cutforth A single user license allows you to install the software on 2 computers as long as you are the only person using it and you only run one copy at a time.

looking in the version history on your page no one will get an upgrade for free if you release a new version every two years.

Bruno Verschraegen Hello. Two questions.

1) Any challenges to be expected when working in conjunction with other automatic backup software? We use one that makes incremental backups of everything we have on our pc every hour - and I want to keep using it. But yes, it does occasionally happen that one wrongly overwrites a file version and cannot undo that because it happens within the same one-hour time spam, and for this using AJC Active Backup as an additional backup would be great.

2) With the programme we're using, we keep the backup data sets of two weeks and the backup data set of the week preceding that two-week period gets deleted to save space. How about AJC Active Backup; any similar settings?

1. Does the tool handle the rename/move operations on the file being watched for changes, so that I can recover the original file name/location?

Andrew Cutforth Active Backup has compression because it only stores the changes to a file each time and it compresses the whole copy of the file that it has. It does not have encryption.

It cannot backup to SkyDrive but AJC Sync can (and the Dropbox is coming).

AJC Software - Apr 10 2013 at 3:58am Copy Link

Andrew Cutforth Hi Bruno,

1. It should not interfere with other backup systems. If a file is locked it waits and tries later.

2. Yes Active Backup has purge options so you can decide to keep a certain number of revisions in each archive or remove old ones etc.

AJC Software - Apr 10 2013 at 4:00am Copy Link

Andrew Cutforth Hi Tomasz,

1. If a file is renamed the corresponding archive will be renamed but if it is moved to a new folder it will not. A new archive will be started in the new folder.

2. A file backup is taken each time after the file as been modified. When a delete happens it does not need to do anything and the archive is still available to restore from.

Andrew Cutforth Minor bug fixes are released as soon as they are fixed and small point releases may not always be shown on the changes list. If you purchase the software you will be entitled to all minor releases for that version if we produce them. e.g if you have v2 you will always get any v2.x for free. If we produce a major new version 3 then you would still get if free if you have purchased a short time before (less than 6 months) otherwise you would get a good discount on an upgrade. The reason v1 did not have many upgrades is that it has been very stable. v2 is a complete rewrite with many improvements. We pride ourselves on bug free software so If we find bugs we will fix them ASAP. If we have suggestions from users and it is possible we will endeavour to produce enhancements for v2.

Gde Swart I purchased AJC Sync Pro the last time it was offered and have been very pleased with it so I decided to give Active Backup a try. It looks good so far. Nice and small, light on system resources (my biggest concern). The Visual Studio add-in is slick! That alone is worth the price of admission for me. Thanks for the deal AJC and BDJ.

Tortuga @Andrew Cuthforth, Thank you for your answer.
I did buy on November.2012. Can you please tell me if there was any version/bug fix/improvement issued after November.2012 that was not announced.
If so, can I have a link to download that version?
Thank you

Andrew Cutforth It will work on Server 2003 but it is not running as a service so you need to be logged in to run it. It should be able to monitor network drives depending on what they are hosted on so I suggest you test the fully functional trial version.

Mark Johnson What does this mean under "The fine print"?
"Lifetime return policy."

Product questions:

If there are 20 files modified in a single folder, does that mean there are 20 individual files in the backup destination or just one compressed file containing the 20 revised files?

Extending the above example, if those 20 files are modified 10 times per day for a month... Do you end up with 12,000 separate and complete files (changed parts and unchanged parts) in the archive or a smaller number of files with incremental changes?

What type of compression is used?

I'm interested in using this for backing up changes between source control check-ins in Visual Studio, as described on your webpage about the VS plug-in. My concern is what is described above - every time I start the debugger in VS all changes are saved, so I would assume AJC would do a backup each time. If those are all saved as individual complete files, that can be a ton of individual text source code archive files with tiny individual changes each day, so I'd be concerned the archive would take up considerably more space than the original files themselves.

Andrew Cutforth Each file will have a corresponding backup archive file associated with it that will hold multiple revisions of that file. So if 20 files in a folder are modified it will update 20 archive files. If those 20 files are modified 10 times a day for a month there will still only be 20 archive files but they will have multiple revisions in them. 10 * 30 = 300 revisions in each archive. Only the changes are stored in the archive each time so they will not actually be that big.

Also if you save a file 100 times in a day it will create 100 revisions which is OK for today because you may want to go back to any version but after 5 days you may not want this many. This is why the user defined auto purge is provided to purge these down to say, one revision per day.

All of this happens very quickly and you will not even notice any system overhead.

You need not be concerned, AJC Active Backup works very well with Visual Studio and was designed for developers etc. The backups are lightening fast and the archives are small. e.g. An archive for a text file with 100 revisions may not be much bigger than the original file and may even be smaller.

It is great for protecting you while you are coding and it has saved me many times when I wanted to get back some code from this morning that was done after the last check out from source control or some automatic thing in Visual Studio updated some code and I wanted to know what had been changed etc

Aug 19 2014 at 11:03am Copy Link

0

Andrew Cutforth Well I have never heard of IdleBackup so these comments are based on what I have just read about it on the net. As the name suggests it seems to only backup when the PC is idle whereas Active Backup works when you save the file as you are working when you need it the most. It is still very fast though and you will not notice a slow down on your system as long as you are sensible with your patterns. Active Backup keeps multiple revisions too but you have a built in Diff tool so you can see what has changed and you are able to use that to pull back partial changes if you need to which is crucial if you are a programmer or web developer etc. Also it has a auto purge tool to stop your backups getting too large.

S G Hi Andrew-

Can you answer a question about AJC Sync Pro (I know it not today's deal)?

If a primary and secondary location are already synchronized with AJC Sync. Then a folder is moved or renamed at the primary location (but all the files in the folder have not changed). When synchronizing again to the secondary location, will AJCsync delete the moved or renamed folder from its original position on the secondary drive and then get a new copy of the data from the source?

Or will it perform a move at the secondary location?

I am asking because if I have a folder with 500GB of data which has already been synchronized with my backup drive, and I rename or move it, I am trying to determine if I will be recopying 500GB of data to the backup drive. Clearly copying will take a long time, while moving will only take seconds.

Thanks!

Gary Mugford Andrew,

I'm still using v1.6.2 on my STILL main Delphi 7 IDE machine. After the contretemps in 2015 where you offered to take a look at the AJA file, even though v2.0 had been released (YEP FOLKS, SUPPORTS HIS SOFTWARE), I reverted to an earlier backup, missed out on a couple of days of work and continued on using v1.6.2.

I DID buy v2 licence in 2014, May 4th to be exact. But I remember looking at it and not really liking the new interface. Old dogs, new tricks, never the twain shall meet and all. That said, I now have a new machine in the other Office where it will be the XE7 IDE machine. Since I was an early adopter, I THINK I could install 1.6.2 on the new machine, or at the very least, get a licence key (the url is long out of date) and go with v2.0.

BUT, I'd like to copy the backup data TO the new install, whichever version. IS THAT POSSIBLE?? I'm sort of asking for super-support here without promise of purchasing the latest AJC. I understand if the answer is YES, with the newest version. Wouldn't hold it against you. BUT if I can save a few bucks risking just a little public embarrassment, that's what I'll do.

The software is INDISPENSABLE. Saved my bacon on a failing old computer that required this new change and dance routine maybe as many as twenty times in the last eight years of using it. So, thanks, whatever the answer.

Andrew Cutforth Hi Gary,
Yes you can copy all of the archives to the new machine and you can use v1 or v2. If you use v2 the archives will be read by it fine but when they get written to they will be upgraded to a new format that cannot be read by v1. So if you try v2 backup your archives if you think you may want to go back to v1.

Gary Mugford Andrew,

Made the decision to buy a new licence 'cuz it's been a rough year for everybody and throwing a little support for value received over the years is not going to break me and it'll afford you a pizza for lunch.

Now, the new machine is ROUGHLY set up as in the original where I have my data on D, executables on E and some archived projects on F. The new machine will have the executables on the big fast C drive and the Data on D. BUT there isn't currently an F. Sooooo, some of the files previously on E will be on C and F's will be either melded BACK into D or only brought in on an as-needed basis. Can you be more specific as to my methodology for getting set up on the new machine with AJC Backup??? THIS is the reason I'm paying. I need the hand-holding. I know, I would probably get it without the pizza. But I though it wouldn't hurt and karma balance remains important.

Andrew Cutforth If you want your archives to keep being appended to then you need to put them where they will be associated with the new file location.
e.g.

If your old archive base was F:\AJCArchive and now it is D:\AJCArchive (and you don't have custom archive destinations).

If you were working on a file:
E:\Work\MyProject\doc.txt

It would have been archived to:
F:\AJCArchive\DRIVE_E\Work\MyProject\doc.txt.aja

If you have moved the file to:
C:\Work\MyProject\doc.txt

Now you need to move the archive under the new base to:
D:\AJCArchive\DRIVE_C\Work\MyProject\doc.txt.aja

If you come to restore a file make sure that it shows the correct destination to restore the file to.

Gary Mugford Not sure your instructions actually work with the new install. BUT, it's a start. All the Delphi data goes on D (again), BUT I also backed up third party library code that WAS on drive E, but will now be on drive C. The AJC program itself will migrate from E to C on the new machine and I'm not averse to having the data files go to C as well for AJC. The time I TRIED AJC 2 in the past involved different locations and failures to recover older revisions, which hastened my return to v1.6.2. I'm older, possibly even wiser and more experienced now. So, my adventure has a probable good ending. Be safe. Thanks.

Colin McAllister Ok. I have a list of folders and files archived. I want to find a file (say) "XYZ.docx". I can SEE the file in the third folder down in the tree. But what if that file were 65 folders down?

I have a "start folder (leave blank for all)" field and a "File patterns (seperate multiples with a semi colon)" field. I also have 2 search possibilities; there is a "Search" button to the right of the "File patterns" field, and a "Start Search" button on the ribbon. Adding "XYZ.docx" into those fields produces a blank results page.

a) How do I find file "XYZ.docx" to actually open it, without scrolling through every folder?
b) How do the two search buttons differ?
c) Trying to contact support advises me to make Outlook my default email service. Why is that? There are many people like me who use other email services as their default and many other software companies allow me to set my default email program as part of the global options - is that not possible in Active Backup?

Thanks.

Adam P First of all, make sure docx files are being backed up.

I did a search in the search & list tab for a specific php file, and it found the file name in 4 different folders in the different sections that are being archived.

Andrew Cutforth If you enter "xyz.docx" to find a file then it will find each folder that has that file archived. Then you can double click on the file to open the archive.

Or you can just go to a file in normal Windows Explorer, right click on it and choose Undo from AJC archive ...

The two search buttons do the same thing.

Contacting support just uses the default email client in Windows that supports MAPI. If you don't have one registered then maybe it shows that message but that would be from Windows rather than our software. If it does not work you get a message that tells you how to contact support manually.

Colin McAllister Thanks for the reply Andrew. I've played around a bit more and I think I see the problem. If I have a file "My December gift list.docx", and I search for that exact title, then the search DOES indeed return all archives containing that file.

If I search for "December" or "gift list", I get nothing. I can wildcard search for "My December*" and that finds the correct file in archives, but I suspect that if I enter "My Dec*" I will get "My December gift list.docx", AND "My Decibel conversion widget.rtf" AND "My Declaration of Independence.epub" in their archives too.

Is that correct? Thanks.
