7-Zip's @listfile command line option never allows non-ASCII characters in filenames.
There is nothing I can do about that. The maintainers of 7-Zip may change this in the future.
For some reason, Zip files created with ZipForge can not be opened with 7-Zip 4.15 beta.
WinZip has no problems with the files; I guess it has something to do with 7-Zip.
(ZipForge): While Updating existing backups the progress indicator sometimes displays values above 100%.
This is not an error, it could be a little bit confusing though.
It is caused by ZipForge's internal 'progress' indicator.
The list below is not complete.
The following issues are mentioned on this site because it could save you some time.
Informing me of an issue I already know about is not really necessary.
Of course, I do appreciate your opinion.
Accept more commandline arguments. Ideas are welcome.
Add a commandline option to restore backups.
(Low priority: You can use whatever (commandline) zip-compatible software you like to unzip.)
The NOT ToDo List...
Many people have asked me to make it possible to write backups directly to DVD/CD.
Of course Abakt can never replace a cd/dvd burner.
Some options:
- You can use software like Ahead InCD to write directly to CD/DVD.
- CDBurnerXP Pro accepts
command line options and can be used together with Abakt in a .BAT script.
Add an option to set the Destination to an ftp address.
This can possibly be achieved using a command line ftp tool.
For non-automated (s)ftp purposes I recommend FileZilla.)
Add a Job Scheduler.
You can use the Windows scheduler using Abakt's command line arguments,
or any other scheduling tool.
Allow backups of the Windows registry.
Abakt is file-oriented software. Writing a registry-module would take me too much time.
Fortunately an excellent free registry backup and recovery utility exists:
ERUNT.
This utility accepts command line options and can be used together with Abakt in a .BAT script.
See How To ... for an
example of calling Abakt in a .bat script.
