Differential backup fails if Backup location exists as zip-archive (Toucan 2.0.7)

jancj - April 17, 2009 - 12:35am

If you have made a backup (and set "Backup location" to a zip-archive like "Jan.zip") and then wants to make a "Differential" backup, the process fails.
You get this information:

There is a need for a check on the "Backup location" to see if a folder with the desired name can be created.

Otherwise I like the application more and more.
Thanks
