B19, OS X 10.11 Don't know if I'm misunderstanding Qrecall's capabilities or if this is a bug... Background: Have both a laptop and a desktop Mac running same software and much of the same data on both so I thought I could use a single archive and take advantage of QRecall's de-duplication to drastically reduce the amount of data I backup and the need to have separate backups, one for each computer. My QRecall archive "Backups.quanta" resides on an external USB drive which I move between computers. Each computer has an internal drive partitioned into two uniquely named volumes. Laptop has volumes "A" & "B", iMac has "C" & "D". Both running same QRecall beta level. Plug external drive into iMac, create a new archive and capture "C" & "D". Captures complete with no errors. Viewing archive shows disk icons for "C" & "D" as expected. Quit Qrecall, unmount external drive and now move & plug it into the laptop. Open QRecall, open existing archive. Viewing archive shows disk icons for "C" & "D" as expected. Now, attempt to capture volume "A" or "B" -- the capture starts, captures the 200+GB (identifying about 90% as duplicate). A new layer is created but the newly captured volumes (A and/or B) *do not* appear in the "Backups.quanta" window! It is not possible to browse them or access the data on them even though QRecall captured them. The Log file shows "Capture to Backups.quanta", no error messages, but no message it finished. Huh? Where are they and their data?
