Transfer Snapshots seems BADLY broken. What am I doing wrong?

My goal: convert a humongous backup set into several smaller backup sets. (Now: 15TB covering everything on two massive computers (each has a LOT of photos etc) 0

Method: transfer snapshots for one partition into a separate backup set. Then groom said snapshots out of old set.

RESULT:

- I set up and started a Transfer Snapshots for one 1TB partition, into a Storage Group.

- It's doing the transfer of ALL snapshots, ALL computers in the backup set! I don't have empty space to do that.

ANYbody have experience in this arena?

I hate to ask this, but have you read the manual? I've done this, but never to a smaller destination. The most likely explanation is this sentence:

"The Transfer Snapshots function does not have a preview feature. You must rely on selectors
instead of picking and choosing files by hand."

Selectors are fussy, and if you set them incorrectly you're not going to get the results you want.

You can also email support, and get a pretty quick response.

Good Luck
