2013 will not overwrite existing file in single version
Hi All
Newbie here. I am at this moment in time somewhat disillusioned with this program. I have tried and tried to perform a full backup of my C:\ drive to a second hard drive D:\. Both are 1T drives. The backup is around 500mb so two files will not fit on my D:\ drive. As i understand it the program in single version mode should automatically overwrite the existing file. This does not happen and it all ways fails with a disk full message. What am i doing wrong please? Help would be very much appreciated on this issue.
Thank you for reading this

Thanks for the reply GroverH. I did some extensive research on the forum (yes i realize i should have done that before!) and found that the application actually needs the space to create 2 complete backups and then it will delete the original. When selecting the option to do a single version scheme it says "This program creates a single full backup version, and overwrites it every time" This is not true as overwrite is NOT DELETE. Surely overwrite means that it replaces the existing. Technically i suppose it does. But I now understand what is being said but it would be better if it was explained in a better way. Thanks for your help and advice. It is people like you that make life a little more bearable using computer applications.
Cheers GroverH
