The built-in MS backup tool is not really what you want then, unless you.
want them older than one month each. Something like Acronis would be better
for that.

I don't want to combine sessions. I want each to "stand alone" as I change
things on the C drive. Then I could delete the oldest session or 2 when
necessary. I keep programs & files I need - when I did my last restore I
had
to "clean up" stuff I had previously deleted. How do I configure back-up
sessions accordingly? I have no clue!

If you don't care that the restore would not include the previous
backups,
you can exclude them from the current backup, or delete them before
creating
a new one.

I am dazed and confused. Running Win XP Pro SP-3 & Seagate FreeAgent GO
ext
HDD for back-ups w/Win XP back-up utiliy - shadow copy option. Issue:
my
back-ups increased in size as follows: 1=7.5GB, 2=15GB, 3=30GB, &
4=60GB!
I
only added approx 500MB worth of files/programs between 1 & 4 sessions.
I
made this discovery when I tried a fifth session and was informed that
I
didn't have enuf free space to do it. I have a feeling that the
utility
added all the sessions together as I went along?? I started over,
somewhat
reluctant to re-format the drive, as I had no other back-ups available.
Fortunately, I got a clean session, sigh of relief! I would like very
much
to
unravel this mystery before I attempt another back-up session. I
followed the prompts - didn't try any "tricks". Thanks for any help you
may
give!
