Hello,
I have a windows 2012r2 server with WinDev program.
Database is HFSQL.
Yes, i like it too 
I made files backup and images backup.
Backup success, restoring too but… there is “nothing” :
OS Windows OK but there no data. Nothing.
Files backup too : no files of database, no ZIP files generated by internal backup program of WinDev.
Certainly more complicated to backup
Check debug log to verify why files aren’t being backed up. Check exclusion filters. What’s the file extension of HFSQL files, bdd?
Hello Silversword,
sorry for my late response I had not seen that there was an answer about this topic.
OS windows 2012 is on C: drive
windev bdd on D: drive
Files filter exclusion :

ok.
No, i haven’t do that.
The server isn’t old and in production.
I can do a robocopy or rsync of the files without problem.
I will find a moment and do a chkdsk with a backup before (it’s a VM).
Electronic devices can be dead brand new in the box, or still keep going strong a decade after install. There’s no telling what you’re going to get.
If it’s a VM, then you need to do the Hypervisor’s disk and check for errors as well as file structure inside the disk image used for the VM.
NTFS is built to be redundant, with multiple MFT’s and other protections. You might still be able to get the files copied but have underlying errors.
Before troubleshooting anything else, you have to know that all the components in the OSI model of the device is stable before trying to fix the last error in the chain.
Hardware first:
Then Software
Since you’re running a VM you’ve got 2 sets of those layers to check.
