Problems not questions yes
Questions from a senior
I have tried using 2019 and have had very good results, but switching to "21" has left me in the dark on certain things. I've been putting off writing this for many a week for the fear of appearing too dumb.
First of all I only use the program once a month on the first. I know there are better ways but it sems to serve the purpose I want.
I am completely happy reinstalling Windows to my SSD drive and then update my favorites and Roboform which is fine by me.
As of now I am trying to decide between ATI and Macrium Reflect. MR has a free edition (big advantage MR), but the one time I tried to to reinstall Windows with it, it didn't go right. (much bigger advantage ATI). Luckily I had a boot copy of 19 on disk.
I found out that the difference tween the tib and tibx is tween 19 and 21 and the new way 21 writes the saves, which is nice because of the reduction in size. Whether 21 can use the 19's saves is of no concern to me as long as my latest tibx is correct
When I do a backup I do a FULL backup of my Windows C: SSD drive so I presume that each save would reinstall Windows to to the same C: if so noted.
On validation I check the first box which in turn marks off the first dot in the circle, I hope thats right. In my 19 copy there was one check box only.
Another question is there a right way to delete past saves? I got in trouble with 19 by not doing it with the options, advanced setting.
Hold on last question
the saves on my external drive are
Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB_full_b1_63,000,000
19 full_b2_54,000,000
21 EMT_03B6Q.tibx_______45,616,000
21 EMT_03B6Q-0001.tibx__47,283,000
21 EMT_03B6Q-1_________47,238,000
I know the first two are from 19 and the last three from 21 but I did each using the full backup method. Read somewhere in the files that the 0001 was because of a incramental or diferential scheme. ?
I know the first and third from 21 were done without the check in the box for exclusions so why if it did copy the exclusions why was the file size smaller?
Many thanks to those who read and any answers appreciated
