Re: Backup only new stuff

This leaves me having to do yet another 14-hour full backup before a new incremental would work properly. Is there no way to repoint the target or move files to fool the program into thinking it's already completed its full backup? Would resetting the full backup task that it last completed to incre...

Backup only new stuff

I did a full backup two weeks ago and removed the backup directory after shutting down Windows 10. Today, both Incremental and Differential Task attempts keep doing a full backup, even when saving to the directory from the previous full backup. Create new separated backups turned off after initial a...
