We figure that the best bet to have the apps running again as increment is:
We came to this conclusion based on the properties of the files in this periodic backup routine we have setup (see below)
![backup or not status]()
Please advice what Windows program we can use to find the files modified after 12/8/2015 and what windows program we can use to change
We figure that the best bet to have the apps running again as increment is:
Search all files in backup area for files last modified after the correct backup performed which was 12/8/2015
Change the configuration of those files identified as modified after 12/8/2015 to NOT-BACKED-UP (don't know the correct technical wording to Not0Backed-Up-Status)
Run the Cobian apps again so it can backup all modified after 12/8/2015
