Archiving Does Not Appear To Be Working

[Ron]

I have vv pro 2 build 2010.

I have a job that is doing a backup (mirror source to target) with archiving on the target.

The files get archived, but VV always puts an error in the log that it can't delete the Archive directory (and I don't want it to).

Ideas?

Ron,

You seem to have a different archiving problem than I am having. On my system VV Pro 2 is having trouble creating the archive directory after deleting it.

Looks like TGRMN might have a bug in their program...

Hi , I see that you put your archive directory under the target folder. At the end of the backup VV tries to delete it because the archive folder is not present in the source.
You have 2 options to fix this:
a) Put the archive folder in a separate location, not under the target folder.
b) Exclude the archive folder from the backup by adding a subfolder filter in the profile settings: exclude \\Server\MyDB\Archives\

thanks!
