Thank you. A lot of files and a lot of sub-folders so I used method 3. Possibly something to add to the wishlist? Either by more filtering options or simply select the required date to restore back to?.

There are some options -
1. From the backup list go into each file and manually select the version you want. Each file has its date and the backup number (#) when it was backed up.
This may be too tedious
2. If you just want to use the last FULL backup, you can open pbackup but do not open your backup set. Then go to the restore tab, click "backup set" and then instead of opening...

I'm using v3.00 and due to a virus problem I had on holiday I want to restore a set of executables from a shared folder where I store all my downloads in sub-folders. Because of the virus I had to remove all the executables and I have since done an incremental backup. If I try to restore from the backup set it now knows that those files have been deleted and will not restore them as a group...

I wrote the program originally in C++ a long time back when there were still file systems with a limit of 8.3 (8 characters and 3 character extension), so I fitted the backup file names into this limitation. I kept this up when converting to java so that backup files could always be read by future versions of the program. It seemed to me that over 1000 backup files in a set was plenty for most...

Hi There,
Thanks for the info. I've done up a script with rotating sets and all that. My script also copies over the pb1, pb2 files from the config/script directory and makes a new copy of the pb1 file. So each full backup is a '00' backup. Seems to be working great except for the file set limitation.
Having more files available for each set is really important since I have to break...

See the bottom of the help file documentation, on backing up files, it explains this.
file:///C:/Program%20Files/Peters%20Backup/doc/backup.html
This is what it says
Backup File Name
Backup file names have the form yymmbbii.PB2. The full backup has one file name, and each incremental backup has another file name.
* yymm: date when the full backup was done.
* bb: Sequence...

Playing with it a bit more, I guess the 3rd set of numbers isn't the year, it's the archive set ID?.

Hi,
The file naming seems to be date (mmddyy) + ID for each archive file.
If that's the case, at least on my install, the year is always '03', which is a few years off =)
Any suggestions on this?
Also, I noticed hat if ID > 99, then it switches to alpha-alpha. I guess that means there's going to be a theoretical limit to the number of archives for a given set.
My primary reason...
