Tebis Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi, I'm using Express HD. I've all my data on one harddrive (plus some stuff from C), the backup is stored on another harddrive. I've run my first backup and it worked fine. Now, after some time, I want to backup my data again. But it seems, that all my old backup files won't get replaced by the new ones. My question: How can I only backup the changed files and keep the untouched data-backup files? Thanks Tebis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tebis Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Thanks for your answer. My data harddrive is about 177 GB data, the backup harddrive has 250 GB space (177 GB all filled with the first backup). When I want to do another backup - same settings and again about 177 GB data - it tells me to locate another place where I can save the addition backup files. I don't get that. Plus, I takes so long to create the second backup, although only a few files changed (about 500 MB). But it takes more than 4 hours, which would be about backuping the whole 177 GB once again. Hmm .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hi, If any attribute of a file changes it will be backed up again. 177GB is a lot. What kinds of files do you have on your hard drive? Is a program updating the files in some way? Thanks, Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tebis Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Thanks Nate, I've deleted all scripts and sets and set them all up again. Now it's working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
