Toucan

is there a way to exclude file extentions with a wildcard? a Java IDE I use creates a ton of .java~someNumberHere~ files, and when i backup my work i want to exclude them.

i thought of trying to exclude .java~* but that didn't work. so for now i just have .java~1~ through .java~25~ as exclusions.

Please add the ability to do zero compression backups. As I backup to my C: drive this has more than enough storage. Also zero compression is alot faster.

Thanks
Craig

hey steve
i dont know if you will appreciate this or not, but i want to say
thank you.
While i was hacking my ipod, the hack "leaked" into my flash. And my entire flash drive was corrupted. Thanks to your program i have been backing up every night (i kno it seems crazy), so my flash drive was only a day behind.
So once again i want to thank you a lot.

I'm still having trouble with using the newest version of Toucan from the command line.

Per the help file, my batch file looks like this:

@echo off
Toucan jobname


When I run the batch file, I get the GUI for Toucan, and the job does not load or run. Shouldn't a batch file run Toucan without the GUI?

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Tappet

I'm having trouble with the Sync function when trying to "equalise". As I understand it, this should cause the newest versions of files to overwrite any older versions regardless of whether they are in the source or destination.

In backup tab, I try to exclude a folder named "Download" but it doesn't excluse this folder.

In temp-exclusions.txt I got "ownload" instead of "P:\Download"

Can you fixe this issue, please.

This app is great, just need few fixing to be perfect.

Oops: I just noticed this question has already been asked, but not answered:

"System error: The parameter is incorrect."

I don't recall setting any parameters. What does the message mean?

Fortunately, PAM Backup still works.

All I'm trying to do is to backup the Documents folder in PAM to a folder on my hard disk with Zip compression.

The sync function help for Toucan states that:

"Mirror Update is slightly different to Mirror Copy starts off using the copy routine and then removes unnecessary files and folders. Usually this is quicker than a Mirror Copy as it doesn't copy all of the files, however it may not create an exact copy."

Could you explain in what circumstance / why it might "...not create an exact copy."

As a number of people have asked, here are the steps to translate Toucan.

1. Download a copy of poEdit. This is the program you will use to translate Toucan.
2. Checkout a copy of the Toucan source code. You will need an SVN client for this purpose, documentation about checking out source code can be found here, and here.

G'day Steve,

Using v1.2.0, when I try a sync using the source variable @drive@ I get an error. The progress window shows "Starting..." then an error dialog displays "There was an error processing the source Portable Variable.". I can close the error dialog, but I can't Abort the Progress window, I have to close the application window behind it.

Have I broken it?
