Cobian Reflector • Incremental backups create empty directories even if nothing has changed

$
0
0
I have "ignore empty directories" checked. Also:

create new separated backups
use archive attributes
incremental backup
clear archive attribute
ignore empty directories

What I want to do is not *create* new empty directories for backed up directories when nothing has changed.

I mean, if I run my incremental backup over and over without doing anything else, a new, empty, directory will be created for every directory backed up every time, even if no files have changed. For example:

Quicken 2023-10-06 11;46;20 (Full) <<< complete backup as expected
Quicken 2023-10-06 11;55;46 (Incremental) <<< just changed files as expected
Quicken 2023-10-07 09;32;10 (Incremental) <<< empty, because no files were changed
Quicken 2023-10-07 09;32;36 (Incremental) <<< empty, because no files were changed
etc.
