Date range for files to backup
There are options in the Backup wizard to only back up files modified in the last X days
Hello David,
You may be mistaken (Although I kind of hope you are right and I am missing something).
There is an option called:
"Backup files modified -_- days ago"
With this description:
"Files will be backed up only if they have been modified more than specified days ago"
And indeed that is what it does. If I put "1" days for that setting, it ignores files less than 1 day old and only backs up files older than that.
I need files less than 1 days old to be backed up only, and to ignore files older than that.
I also can see this option:
"Backup files modified since: -_date_-"
Now, if I could enter a number of days here, that would be perfect. But alas, it only lets me enter a date. This means that this setting is not useful for automated backups, I would have to manually set this day to yesterday and then run the backup. The date set is unchanging over time.
Weird idea for a solution:
Is there some way for Windows to hide certain files within a folder?
I have looked on google for ways to create a "search folder" like in Outlook so that I can enter criteria and it shows the results. If I could point cloudberrylab managed backup to such a folder set to only show results modified within the last day this would be a work-around that works.
Do you have a weird but functional work around perhaps like that in mind that might work?
