Files Created by GBM Locally
Genie Backup Manager creates a variety of temporary and permanent files and folders on the machine on which its running during its various operations that are either intended to be used by the user or for the program's internal use.
Job-related files and folders
When a new backup job is configured, the wizard creates a "JobSettings.dat" file in a folder carrying the same name as the backup job (usually in C:Documents and Settings<user>Application DataGenie-SoftGBMAPPLICATION).
In addition, GBM also creates subfolders in the same location for each backup execution starting with a folder named "00000000" for the first backup run, and a new folder with the name incremented by one for each subsequent execution. Each folder contains catalog information for the corresponding backup run.
Temporary folders
Genie Backup Manager creates a temporary folder at the start of each session to store transient files and folders that are created during the program's operations, such as data waiting to be written to CD or DVD, or data being encrypted or compressed etc.
Temporary session folder will be deleted when the session is closed (upon exiting main application).
Unless otherwise specified by the user, GBM will look for the local drive with the most free disk space and select it for storing its temporary folders and files.
Temporary files created during a backup run will be deleted when backup is complete.
Logs
Genie Backup Manager provides a log engine that helps you track backup, restore and test operations. It also offers advanced logs for tracking and debugging backup operations and volume shadow copy snapshots. For more information on each of these logs and how to access them, please refer to the Logs and Reports section.
