My nightly backup (Y: drive) is Veracrypted formatted NTFS.
I plugged it in around 1645 (earlier than usual), mounted it, and ran the backup. To my delight a specific file
ext:doc \greaves\training\everything\tutorial TransientMediaSo far, so good.
I decided to mount both my nightly Y drive and my weekly Z drive. For some reason I Veracrypted Z: as FAT, but it is beneficial in this study to have one drive NTFS and one FAT as I explore this world.
I am now focused on the "RESCAN" options.
"Every Day" at HH am/pm, and Every x hours, and Never, are all inappropriate for me. I mount the backup drives anytime between 5pm and 8pm.
Rescan on Full Buffer held promise, but then on my weekly drive, I suspect that the buffer would fill every ten seconds or so, and I don't want to rescan every ten seconds. Nor do I want NOT to rescan on the last partial buffer.
Of course I want an option that reads "Rescan once the backup is completed and before the drive is dis-mounted", so I suspect that will be a command-line run of Everything from my batch file, once I have RobCopied every file to where it should be copied, and before I call up Veracrypt to dismount the drives.
This would work because these two backup drives are always mounted and dismounted from the batch file.
How will I cope with CD/DVD disks, USB memory keys, and SDCards and adapters that are inserted and removed manually? Will Everything keep its databases up to date in real time, so that when I remove those media I do not need a rescan?
Thanks, Chris
