Per user request you can now have the program only make 1 auto backup per day. (This is for the people who have it set to backup at system startup but reboot their machines multiple times per day)

It doesn't work correctly in all cases. If I make a manual backup and I decide to delete it, this option (if enabled) will prevent me to create another new backup, not considering the fact I deleted my backup already done the same day.
EDIT: I have just noticed that the program records last date in a line called LastAutoBackup in settings.ini. But if I delete all backup folders performed the same day, this value should be cleared automatically.

I did the same thing as you and posted it a page back and got an answer. What you have to do is go into Settings.ini in the RB folder and change LastAutoBackup to the day before. Maybe even deleting it might work. RB does not look at the dates of the backups which IMO it should do. This way deleting the current auto backup file would kick off a new backup. Listening Shane? :smiley:
Cross post. That's a good idea too about resetting LastAutoBackup if the current backup is deleted.

Thanks.
I hope that this will be implemented automatically because I move backup folders regularly.

I didn't even think about doing it that way lol. On a lot of my programs that do daily update checks I always did it this way. So when I was pumping in the changes my mind just went to doing it that way.
I do see how it would be better to loop through the backup folder looking at the folder names for the dates instead. I already have the code to loop through the folders as that is what the cleanup does. So it is just a matter of making a few changes.
Not to mention if your a tech, running it from a thumb drive or local server and you use the command lines for auto backups and you have it set to only do one then it defeats the purpose! You backup one machine via auto then none of the others will since it already thinks it did.
By having it loop through the folders instead a tech can still use the only 1 auto backup per day for every machine while still running it from the one program.
I will make the change and have it ready for next Sundays release.
Either today or tomorrow I will make the changes and post it here for testing before next Sunday :wink:

Very often it takes a user to inform the developer that maybe there is a better way of doing some task. :wink:
