Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro - a must have tool for techs

Fabs Restore Question . . .

First, I'll admit I'm being lazy before digging in to documentation.

Yesterday I did a restore on to a machine that I thought I'd unlinked from OneDrive before having done so; I hadn't. When I unlinked it this morning some files had become "cloud only" so those are lost (kinda-sorta) if one does not want to use OneDrive, and this client doesn't.

Now that I have unlinked the device from OneDrive, is it possible to re-run a Fabs restore and have it gracefully ignore any files already present and just restore any that are no longer present locally?

I also backed things up by hand, too, so if push comes to shove I can use a straight Windows copy command, but if Fabs can be told to gracefully handle this situation where it would skip anything already present, I'd rather do that.

When listing files to copy, it compares what it has between source and destination. If a file with same size and dates, then it is automatically skipped

Hello,
Fab's AutoBackup 7 Pro and Fab's AutoBackup 7 Home & Office 7.16.0.6729 have just been released.

Here is the change log for both versions:

Added:
- Minecraft data
- Da Vinci Resolve projects
- mRemoteNG settings
- New check box to select and deselect all drivers in the list.
- Pro only: for a few users, grabbing data from a pulled drive can make it unbootable once plugged back in its original computer. To avoid this, a message warns user about that possible issue when selecting another system drive as source. This feature is recommended only if source drive is already unbootable or if it is going to be reformated.

Fixed:
- It was not possible to get computer's serial number when running Windows 11 24H2.
- Pro only: when defaults.ini file already existed, new items supported by the program were not added to it so it could be difficult to exclude them by default for next jobs.

Grab it from your orders history's details on the shop's website at https://archive.fpnet.fr/account.php (ordered before May 1st 2022) or https://store.fpnet.fr/en/order-history for newer orders. You can also use the bundled updater tool (click the "Download Fab's AutoBackup 7.X" link within the program and get the updated files).

Is there a reason the manuals fail to update?

Hum, looks like something is broken here.
Got it : newest online file names were like "Autobackup7Pro-Manual..." instead of "AutoBackup7Pro-Manual..." so files have not been overwrtitten on the server and checksums were not the ones expected by the updater.
It shoud work well now
