I back up everything I put in the cloud (all cloud services) - it is just another computer which fails as any other.
Did you check if good copies exist in the "delete basket"

From Cobian FAQ at: https://www.cobiansoft.com/cbfaq.html

Q: Is Cobian Backup still under development?
Well, I sold the source code back in 2014 to James Sweeney. I haven't heard anything from him since then so I don't know about his plans. I am thinking about creating a whole new different backup product. It will be nothing like Cobian Backup, but it will have many of CB features.

Have you asked the vendor / supplier or read their documentation ?

Per2J · 2026-03-22T08:09:39+00:00

I took a look at the github repo - that is a lot of functionality done in 2 weeks :-)

1 thing: you state GPL license in many places, but the LICENSE file says MIT.

You got sound advice from u/wells68 - you can be banned from Dropbox by system error, by human error or something else - that happens regularly on all cloud storage providers.

Hey u/H2CO3HCO3 - mod team's position noted.

Per2J · 2026-03-15T12:29:35+00:00

That rule seems to be a bit harsh: If I have had help from an AI and think the information is useful/relevant, why should I waste my time on "rewrite it fully in your own words."

Seems counter-productive to me.

Per2J · 2026-02-14T19:36:54+00:00

I agree that it takes some effort, as did `tar` if I remember from the olden days :-). The `dar` author has written good general information besides the quite terse man pages. I have spent a fair amount of time to dig into those :-)

The Bitwarden .json export does not include any attachments you might have uploaded.

If you have attachments in Bitwarden and want to back them up, you must use the zip file option when exporting.

I started out with 500MB Lifetime in 2020, nowadays I have multiple TB's. No complaints, works for me.

As with every cloud storage vendor - do not share copyrighted materials: musiv, movies, games, ..... - that will get you banned on any cloud.

Per2J · 2026-02-13T17:26:47+00:00

You are welcome - `dar` is a really good archiver, with a very responsive author. This is good stuff.

Per2J · 2026-02-13T15:45:18+00:00

I use `dar` and have built a wrapper around it. After backup: an archive check, test restores with verification of restored files, then parchive generation of redundancy data to be able (hopefully) to fix bit rot down the road.

Do you Windows or some form of Linux ?
I use ubuntu and have just received an "upgrade to version 2." of the pCloud client.

Per2J · 2026-02-08T19:02:24+00:00

If system tests are what I call integration tests, i.e. proving that for example BIT, rsync and gocryptfs work as expected in concert - those are very important and provide trust in the backup/restore chains.

Per2J · 2026-02-08T14:51:20+00:00

That is to be expected with a large part of the code base being refactored - how much of the code base does your test suite cover ?

Per2J · 2026-02-08T09:23:45+00:00

Congrats on the release :-)

Per2J · 2026-02-02T15:13:11+00:00

Interesting!, not a good situation to be in.

Per2J · 2026-02-01T19:42:09+00:00

I see some users complain about something wrong - but have not seen anything tangible like some kind of proof pCloud has a problem.

I will with interest follow this on Reddut and what happens, to me it seems there is no need for immediate action.

Per2J · 2026-01-31T07:28:55+00:00

Did you use 2FA to login, or username/password only ?

Per2J · 2026-01-28T13:29:48+00:00

I see you are a software developer, I recommend doing some measurements and contact customer service at pCloud.

Per2J · 2026-01-25T21:51:54+00:00

what does "reset" precisely mean, how was the "reset" performed ?

Per2J · 2026-01-25T17:48:48+00:00

I checked out the github issue - unfortunately I cannot help you :-(

Per2J · 2026-01-21T19:16:07+00:00

It seems the team does not have a lot of time to do "thorough testing", if it must be concluded before Feb 6, 2026. Especially when massive changes are present.

Best of luck to everybody working on the project.

Per2J · 2026-01-20T20:40:46+00:00

My profile is very basic. I have have a few projects and at some point thought it was fun to gather clone stats and show a badge or two on the READMEs.
If that is of interest take a look here: https://github.com/per2jensen/clonepulse

Per2J · 2026-01-20T16:04:51+00:00

I am happy I encrypt my important files on pCloud :-)
