Program backups .vs. cleaning backups

csgalloway

Currently the folder is the same for old versions of program files (jv16pt.exe, etc) and backups of files or registry entries to be deleted. Some people would like this to be separated out. This would make it easier to know that Tools > Maintenance > Delete jv16 Old Powertools Backups is safe.

Hello,

Your suggestion sounds reasonable, so I have taken the time to add it to our task manager system for internal consideration.

Will let you know in case this feature improvement becomes a priority and, if done, I will be glad to provide you with a private test version to examine.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write to us and help figure out one more improvement point.

I'm not sure if I entirely understand what you are requesting. That each jv16 PowerTools version would use a different backups folder? Why? If you use the "delete old backups" feature, it does just that, deletes old backups, is that not what you want?

Just separate out the folders for program updates and those that the program cleans.

If you perform a program update by installing a new version over the old version, your backups should not be touched. Or is there something I don't understand here?
