The dev addresses this and has tried to correct for it using a system not unlike BitTorrent hashing (I got a 9.6 meg hash file from a 15 gig file analysis it's one of the reasons why you can't change the home directory after it's first set.) However, even the dev acknowledges that it's not fool proof and by default will do a full copy every 8 backups. There is a small chance that there might be data corruption, a problem with delta copy systems. If you're going to the trouble to encrypt and then backup your stuff, it's probably worth it to be careful. I would also dismount the volume even though Bvckup's shadow volume copying feature will function. Bvckup doesn't check files with the same timestamp and I couldn't find a way to force Bvckup to run a check. Alternatively there's a "Do not delete any files" checkbox under "More options".ĭisable "Preserve modification timestamp of file containers", which TrueCrypt has on by default for security reasons. Regardless, when you're dealing with backups it makes sense to be extra careful.
I guess the message here is either don't run backups late at night or don't be a moron. This, despite a warning message about that but I still didn't register. I ran one on a directory that wasn't empty and the program zapped everything there. I recommend initially setting the "Destination" to an empty directory. I'd recommend FastCopy with verification enabled.
If you're just moving something important from one place to another and don't plan to update it later, Bvckup is a waste of time and energy.
