Hello,
Starting with version 2.0.404 you can now disable the MD5 sum feature.
There is no user interface for this, you will have to manually edit a configuration file.
This is by intent as I do not want to complicate the user interface or make it too easy for users to shoot themselves in the foot.
In order to disable the feature that Vimalin creates an md5sum hash for each file it backups, follow these steps:
Shut down the Vimalin application if it runs.
Go to the following location on your disk:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Vimalin\Config
Where <username> is your Windows username such as bleomycin
Then open the file Vimalin.ini with a plain text editor such as notepad and add the following line in the [base] section.
It might take up to 15 minutes before that change is read by the worker process as changes in this particular file are not immediately read.
But after that it should no longer try to generate MD5 hashes.
