Backup snapshots on SmartDrive

Hello,

it’s me again.

In order to implement this feature, there is nothing to change on the backup tab and process. It can still store on the destination drive all files (deleted/moved/changed).

Probably the easiest way to implement it could be to add a further checkbox called “retrieve last backup snapshot” (besides “retrieve all files” and "retrieve some files"on the Retrieve tab.

The software could just  parse the most recent backup and simply ignore all the files who have been deleted/moved/changed  (BTW the software already knows it in the current version as when you select “retrieve some files” and go through the folders you are actually shown which ones have been cancelled (by cross-out)/deleted (by grey out) and modified (by a checkbox with version number). So it’s just a matter of making it automatic.

This feature would add a great benefit for people, like me, who want to be able to restore the same files present before a hard disk failure or file system corruption, using last *manually* taken backup.

Regards
