I have Vista Home Premium. When I used the automatic backup feature I noticed
that the first backup seems to be a complete backup and requires 16gb -
thereafter each daily backup is 5-30mb. After a week of daily backups the
next backup is 16gb and then again smaller daily backups. The problem is that
the 100gb external drive receiving the backups runs out of space and of
course the auto backups end. Am I responsible for deleting backup files from
the external drive? and if so, should I delete a set of backups at a time (a
set being the 16gb bu and the daily bu's up to but not including the next
16gb bu). I thought that the auto backup feature would regularly overwrite
the older set of backups so it wouldn't require monitoring on the users part
but that doesn't seem to be the case. Do I understand this correctly - would
my deleting a set at a time cause any problems with the backup catalog?
Thanks for helping out.
