I probably should post multiple items, but here goes anyway...
Config Backup/Restore is not reliable, and eats it's own backups:
I had upped the number of backups to 10 so that when Windows crashed (regularly), I would have enough backup depth to make sure my tags were saved. Today all my tags disappeared after yet another crash. I knew they were good yesterday (completion moving is set in the tag and only a few moved to the default completion directory). I used last nights backup to restore. A couple of problems there 1) "Vuze did not restart tidily..." and 2) Something undefined failed to install. Bottom line, no good on the restore. I went back two days, restored, and still no joy. I went back yet another day, same results, same alerts, ditto. No joy. Even though the tags were good yesterday, they could not be restored from any backup.
And to the second part: Of the 10 backups, only 5 survived the restore attempts. Every time Vuze restarted after a restore, it backed up the current configuration and ate the oldest backup. That is not good! Bottom line, tags are not being backed up properly in the config backup, and the backup itself is eating it's children (very much like Windows!).
So now I've got a few hundred torrents without tags, no belief that adding tags again will survive long, and about 7 Gigs of useless backups.
Any thoughts?
...Thanks
