Toucan

Have just downloaded and installed 3.1.0 and am running it on a Windows 7 64-bit installation.

When I create and run a full or differential backup job, I get a screen showing "wxWidgets Debug Alert. Unfortunately I can't copy and paste the text from the box but I have a screenshot that I can email or upload.

If I click on "No", the box appears periodically. If I click on "Cancel" it goes away as you'd expect. The backup does complete OK.

During backup the scrolling of the progress window freezes every so often and only continues when the mouse is moved.

Does Toucan currently support Incremental Backups?

Am I crazy for trying to run a 2.5TB backup to a 7zip file, to a 100mbps nas? Also, a nas that never runs anywhere near that...

Okay actually I just bought a new USB 3.0 enclosure, which should be here by wednesday lol.

But still... even to a USB3 enclosure... am I crazy for thinking that my little ole' laptop will be able to handle a 2.5TB backup to a 7zip file? I've been running to my local drive as a test for almost 20 hours now and its white-ing out at only 35GB.

For these types of very very large backups, should I just be using the sync/mirror?

Hey guys,

I love love love Toucan so far, and I have my first question!

Does anybody know how to see detailed progress information? So far I just see the "Progress" window with all the "Compressing [some file]", or telling me its making a list of files, or whatever, and a green bar up top.

I would like to be able to see details like:
- Time spent so far
- Estimated time remaining
- Total files to examine
- Total files examined
- Total files remaining to examine
- Total files backed up
- Total files not backed up
- % Complete

how can I include three synchronizations in just a job?

thanks!

Hello,

I'm trying to run a ~80GB sync using Toucan 3.0.4 on Windows 7 (32bit) mirroring from my main drive (NTFS) to a FAT32 external drive, and it's incredibly slow.

I started the job last night around 10pm and now (7:30am next morning) progress bar indicates a job completion rate of some 5-10%. At this moment, Toucan is copying cache files from my Mozilla profiles folder, each weighing in at some 30kB, at a speed of 1 of these per every 10 seconds!

Just installed. Crashes often.

Hi,

I'd like to build Toucan on a Windows XP machine. I tried almost all suggestions posted in topic https://portableapps.com/node/22783 but without success.

The offending source statement was:
#include <boost/threadpool.hpp>

because the threadpool library is not included in the latest Boost release. Actually, this library seems abandoned: the latest version (0.2.5) available on SourceForge is already four years old.

Toucan is a great backup program. I backup my data to multiple external locations. I was wondering though, when Toucan displays the Progress screen when running my script and says "Copied c:\\, can it also add an extension to the line saying "to U:\\" , so I know which backup is occurring at that time??
I hope this little extra can be added.

Does using the password option on a backup to 7-z use the same AES-256 encryption as the encrypt tab?
