New user couple of quick questions.

Post by jojo88 »

Just downloaded and have been testing out the program...just have a couple questions:

What does everyone believe is easiest to restore from the best option for saving backups. Differential or Incremental?
I know Fullbackup is probably the easiest, but I'm backing up about 128GB at a backup, so a full backup takes some time.
I've so far tried out incremental and see how that performs, next is to give a test of Differential.

2nd question, can I specify two different External Hardrives in the Destination entry, and expect both hardrives to be updated simultaneously
with the data specifed in Source entry?
Thanks,

OK, I think Differential is the way to go, and only keep 5, I've decided to clone the backup, and setup the other external drive backup
seperately.
Thanks,
jojo
