Clarification on Undefined Terms in Documentation

[jcooper]

Hi,

 

I am trying to copy/clone the latest "version" of every file in a collection of media sets.  I figure since it's already backed up and compressed, I should be able to just grab the latest files and not have it take as long to do it.  But there are two issues. One, they do not define what is meant by these terms:

 

Copy most recent backups for each source
Copy most recent backups for each selected source

Copy selected backups
Copy all backups

 

Since I cannot select more than one source when running the copy backups utility, I assume "Copy most recent backups for each selected source" means "Copy most recent backups for THE ONE selected source" and "Copy most recent backups for each source" means it's going to copy the latest backup from every media set in the entire program?

 

Also, does the "most recent backup" mean the most recent FILES from the backup, or only those files that happened to have gotten copied during the last backup (so files that were unchanged since the predeeding backups would not be there)?

 

My brain is melting trying to unravel their documentation and take on logic.

 

Thanks,

 

Jeff

 

ps- why do they sometimes "dim" and become unavailable?
