Re: OneCare Backup problem

Destin,

Don't know anything about OneCare, but it sounds like it's backing up
everything over and over as oppose to incremental backups. I use Acronis
True Image 11.Best $50.00 bucks I ever spent and is truly a great piece of
software. You might won't to check this out http://www.acronis.com/

All the best,
SG

I back up uising OneCare to an external hard drive. The files on my C drive
of my computer that I am backing up are about 10 GB. On the external hard
rive, I can see the files that are backed up, but there is also a folder
called "Wndows OneCare Backup" that is 83 GB, and I can;t delete those
files.
Apparently (I suspect because of this folder which is full of zipped
files)
Windows OneCare Backup does not back up regualrly as it used to because of
lack of space on my external hard drive. I would think that if I have only
10
GB on my C drive, I should only need 10 GB on the external hard drive to
backup. Any help on why I have an "overloaded" external drive in this
situation.
