I am trying to use Microsoft's "Backup Utility" included in WinXP Pro
to backup selected files and folders.
For my first backup - I chose "Normal" as the backup type - which is
the same as full backup of the files and folders I selected for back
up.
It actually took me some time to go through the list of files/folders
on my 2 hard-drives to decide which files and folders I needed to
backup.
Now I want to do a "Differential Backup" - ie to back up files which
have changed or have been added since the first "Normal" backup above.
In the options, I can select "Differential" as the backup type - but in
the backup window - I still have to "Click to select the check box for
any drive, folder or file that you want to back up."
Shouldn't the files / folders I have already backed up in my first
backup be pre-selected? so that I don't have to go through the whole
list again?
Because if I have to choose the files / folders over and over again
everytime I want to do a backup (whether Normal/Full, or Differential)
- the program would seem rather useless?
Or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for any help.
