Hi guys,
I've got two USB drives and I backup one to another using an application and both are formatted as NTFS under Win10.
After a while I noticed that the app copies all the files from the beginning everytime I run the backup although most of the files haven't changed. After inspecting the log, I can see that the app identifies time differences and decides that a file has changed. But in my case, the time differences are just of 3ms.
For example, in Source: 22/04/2018, 13:45:23 and in the Target: 22/04/2018, 13:45:26
I contacted the tech support of the backup app and they told me that NTFS should be precise or at max within 2secs. Then the backup app would not identify the files as changed.
After some discussions I had with them, they told me that my NTFS drives are not actual (???) NTFS files although the disk manager shows this.
So, my question is what you think of all this? If the case is that I don't get actual NTFS drives by formatting them under win10, how do I do it anyway?
TIA for the replies
