Question with changing a local drive to network drive

[coffee1978]

Hi - I have a mirror backup configured. I have my G: drive backed up to Z:. G: is currently a local drive on my b4a host.

If I move the physical G: to another host, and mount it back over the network as the original G: drive letter on the B4A host, will the backups simply continue from there? File locations like G:\foo\bar\car.txt will still be the same file, with the same size, timestamp, path as before. It will simply be on the network instead of local.

Will b4a care? i.e. will it detect it as a change and backup everything again?

Thanks!

Hi,

That should work. For backup sources, if the path is the same, the files already backed up will not be backed up again.

Hi, just as a follow-up - I did complete this move and backup4all performed as expected. A test found no issues and a backup run successfully picked up only changed files. B4A did not appear to care that the drive changed from local to network.

Hi,

Yes, that was as expected.
