I have created a backup job with the following options (GUI in German):
- Typ: Komplett
- Format: 7-Zip
- Kompressionslevel: Keine (-> none)
- Sonstiges: Passwort, Test After Creation
- no rules
- Backup source is a complete directory on a memory stick
- Backup destination in an existing directory on the computer
As soon as I run this job I get the following output in the progress window:
10:27:21 Toucan 3.0.3
Date: 2010-12-03
Computer Name: ((snip))
Operating System: Windows XP (build 2600, Service Pack 3)
Erstelle Liste der Dateien, dies kann eine Weile dauern.

10:27:41 Error:
there is no such archive

What am I doing wrong? If I do the same backup with the Typ: Differentiell then it works and I get the following message in the progress window:

and the backup operation seems to complete successfully. To my understanding the full backup should exactly work the same as the differentiell, just the backuped information is everything not just the difference since the last backup.
Any suggestions what I am doing wrong, or is it a bug in the software?
P.S. For confidentiality reasons I have replaced all path and filenames by ((snip))
