Known Not Issues

  • Q: Any plans to add an option for backing up into a compressed archive or an FTP server?
    A: In short - no. See this post for extended rationale.

  • Q: Default installation on Vista/W7 directory is wrong, it should be C:\Program Files\Bvckup
    A: This is by design. When Bvckup setup is run under non-privileged account, it will not try and install itself in a system directory.
