Feature REQUESTS

[Bespoken]

There are many temporary files created during a backup process (.vpf, .sbs, .idx, .vfp, .fpc, .fif, .ent). Would it be possible to have them created in a temporary folder rather than the target folder? If so could the folder be a specified in the Settings.

This would be helpful where the target is a OneDrive folder. Currently, when the backup processing is running these files, created in the local OneDrive folder, are mirrored to the cloud OneDrive storage. At the end of the process the temporary files are deleted. OneDrives issues a notification that "many files were recently deleted". The deleted files are retaining in the OneDrive recycle bin for 30 days.

This is not optimal.

I would like either:

Offline restores to automatically reboot the PC once finished; or

There to be two different settings for "Apply the powerplan after the restore is complete" - one for online restores, and one for offline restores.



The reason is that when I do an offline restore, due to using a Bluetooth mouse/keyboard I can't exit the winre environment.

I don't want to set the default to "reboot", as that will cause a big surprise when doing online restores! And there's not much time to manually toggle the option once a restore has been initiated.

Thanks for your suggestion, we'll think about it. Honestly, there are already too many backup options, is this really necessary?

Thanks for your suggestion. This has indeed caused some issues, and we’ll work on improving it in future releases.

No, not really necessary - I guess I can use the power button to force a reboot instead.

Alternatively, I don't know if it's possible to move/copy the dropdown menu to this screen:
