    Will backup restore deleted files and folders?

    Yeah, apparently the subsequent backups remove anything that's on the previous backups but not on the later ones. It works well for my situation. But, there could be a problem if something has been deleted that wasn't supposed to be deleted. However, it could probably be restored from the...

    Will backup restore deleted files and folders?

    Hello Rclarke250 - You know I think you might be incorrect about the deleted files and folders being restored. I did a little test on a folder from which I knew I’d deleted a sub-folder after the original backup, but before the first differential backup. I created a folder called “Backup test,”...

    Will backup restore deleted files and folders?

    OK, Thanks for the clarification. The problem is, I've got lots of folders and files, and I'm allways re-organizing. I guess I'll just have to do full backups quite often. Thanks for your help! --Jim

    Will backup restore deleted files and folders?

    Hi, Thanks for sending the reply. However, I don't see anything in the link you provided about the files that I've deleted. If all or some of those deleted files are restored, all my organizing will have been in vain. Do you know if backup remembers my deletions, and therefore won't restore...

    Win 2k pro backup stops at 4 GB

    OK, that's great that it's so easy to fix. I did indeed format the drive as a FAT. I vaguely remember something about 4 GB max on FAT files. I'll convert it to NTFS, and I should be back in business. Thank you much for the info. I'll keep watching for a reply on the 2nd question. Take care. --Jim

    Win 2k pro backup stops at 4 GB

    Hi, I'm trying to do a normal backup of 12 GB of data on a 20 GB external hard drive. For some reason, the backup program gets a little over 4 GB done, and then says the disc is full, which is not true. I can do another backup with a different 4 GB of files on the same drive, without deleting...
