Kathye Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hi. I'm an absolute newbie to trying to make organised useful backups. I bought a Maxtor external drive which came bundled with Retrospect Express 5.6.132 which is now connected successfully to my Windows XP computer. But I am just not understanding the Retrospect Help. Has anyone written any nice basic step by step tutorials in how to use this software? How to decide on a strategy perhaps? I think what I want to do is very basic. I have two partitions on my Hard Drive that I want to back up nightly, my C and E drives. I want to make incremental backups to my Maxtor external drive and I don't want to overwrite them until it's full. Yet when I start the first stage there is the warning to ensure there is no important information on the drive I'm backing up to. I'm probably being really dense here I know. but the more I look at the help files the more confused I get, especially when I see 'scripting' but no description of what it means, what it does or how to do it. Thanks in advance Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
