ggirao Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hi! Strange thing. I recycled a media set, but when I start the backup with some favorite folders, it says "no files needs to be copied". I Think the recycle doesn't erase all stuff, right? I tested and make a restore (all ok) but how retro manages the space? What happens to old data that I don'n need/want and old data that I need,/want?

prl Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Recycling a backup set should make a full backup of all files currently in the sources, and the backup will contain no earlier files or earlier versions of current files. It should be the same as starting a new backup in a new media set, except for the fact that it reuses an existing media set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 After recycling you should check the media set properties. Is it really empty? No backups? How about the members, are they empty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggirao Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yes, I had to add members to media set manually (it said that will erase all contents) but that hasn't true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart_T Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Yes, I had to add members to media set manually (it said that will erase all contents) but that hasn't true. The point of recycling is to reuse the media set, including its members. So it seems wrong that you were asked to add a new member. I wonder what you actually did.

ggirao Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I'm sure I did that. Not my first time. It frees all members, and then I have to manually add members... humm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
