How to backup

How to backup files without putting files into folders with $ at the end?

[reply=“Jedijon;d2026”] Backups are in a proprietary format and files need to be restored using the product. What is your particular use case that you need the backup folders to be in a specific format; presumably one that matches the source folders? If you browse backups using the product’s Backup Storage tab, then you do not see the “$” in the actual folder names that contain them. If you need to access backed up files from other products / utilities, you may want to try using the Simple Backup mode - it has minimal options for retention, but it does leave the files / folder in backup storage in their native format (no “$” or compression / encryption).

Where would I find “Simple Backup mode” in the web interface? I am using Ubuntu Server 20.04

[reply=“Jedijon;7303”] That’s a Windows-only option. So back to my original question: What’s your use case that the backup format is important?

To have access to backup files without having to go into each folder to grab files

[reply=“Jedijon;7305”] Are you saying you need to access files from other utilities without having to restore them first with CloudBerry Backup?
