All FTP backup jobs become Full = "Every Time" with upgrade
I just upgraded from 4.2.15 to 4.2.17. Now, all my FTP backup jobs have been changed to "Schedule Full Backup: Every Time." "Every Time" is the only option in the drop-down, so I can't fix them! Thi...
One more thing: The timestamps of the FTP'ed files are not updated, rather they are set to the time of the FTP transfer.
I also use Beyond Compare 3.0 from Scooter Software to semi-manually transfer the files to my remote host. And BC3 is perfectly capable of resetting the timestamp to the original file date.
I hope that NG will do something about this missing features (incremental FTP backup and timestamp).
The thing about resume/file size of course should also be fixed, although it might not be trivial. On a Unix host smaller files appear to occupy different footprint depending on the server. I can see that e.g. on my NAS and remote storage space a file which on the readynas is listed as 14,958 bytes is listed as being 14,428 on the ftp server. Another example is 1,740 vs 1,631 bytes. Big files however for some reason match exactly - and it is not all small files that come out as being different sizes (a direct file compare shows no difference in contents).
