Genie Backup Manager Questions.

[bigdavethehorn]

I recently bought a new primary HDD, so my older drive is now my backup drive.

I bought Genie Backup Manager and created a backup of My Documents (which contains all of my music, video, photos etc).

This worked and verified without any problem.

I then created an incremental schedule which as I understand it, will backup new and modified files.

I expected that the incremental backup would compare the files in the existing .gbp file, then add any new files from My Documents if necessary, leaving me with one .gbp file.

This hasn't happened.

I have the original .gbp file, created when I made the original manual backup and I have another two .gbp files which have been created by the scheduled backup.

Is there any way just to have one .gbp file other than creating a schedule for a full backup every evening?

Saturday morning bump

Monday evening bump - Does no-one know how to create a single backup file of My Documents which backs up automatically overnight?

Got it.

For anyone interested, select mirror backup.

The first backup will be a full backup, subsequent backups add or remove files from the files you selected to backup.
