Backup - Questions
Hi
Just to get my head around this when you backup directly to a External USB Drive, you got a number of options, one of them is schedule full backup weekly or two weekly etc?
I had set it for just full back up initally, but what I found was it kept old deleted stuff and it got bigger and bigger?
I would like to set it so it backs up completely and is a mirror image of what is on the drive, this way say I need to transfer the lot I can do this easliy knowing that all the information is exact and precise.
A full backup nightly would take its toll I feel? so guess I want a kind of sync backup?

Make sure you check "Remove deleted files on target" on the Advanced tab so it deletes any files in the backup that have been deleted on the source.
