Deleting incremental back-up written to incorrect drive

Thread needs solution

Hello, Hope someone can help, this is pretty basic but I don't want to guess and mess something up.

I am writing to E: drive, once later incremental scheme and I forgot to check that I had the proper drive selected. My camera card was in the E: drive position and now it has my latest back-up on it (OOPS!). I can remove the drive and get my book drive so that it registers as the E: drive, however, if I back up now, will it cover the last month or only the last hour since I wrote to the camera card?

Can anyone give a quick walk through of how to properly delete the data from my camera card and back-up to my regular book drive since the last back-up that is on that drive (not since the last back-up technically, since it was written to the wrong spot.)

Also, I got a "warning" when backing it up and can't figure out how to view what it was warning me about. I haven't had a warning since senior year in high school so this is new for me:)

If you indeed use Backup&Recovery (not True Image home), it created a new full backup backup on your camera, as there was no full one. Nothing is required from your side now - when next incremental backup will be executed, it will create incremental backup to the last archive in the proper backup location. Information about files stored in the accidental backup on camera is located only in the backup itself, so when backup to the proper location is done, it won't be mislead by the backup on camera card. You can just delete the backup files on the camera card now.
You can view the warning in 'logs' page if you switch it to 'events' view instead of 'activities'.
