Adding to Manual Backup

Thread needs solution

I made my first backup with TrueImage 2009. I was going to do the one-step, but I wasn't sure what it backed up. I just wanted to back up my c: drive. I made a manual backup. It was set to make incremental backups. After it was complete, I realized that it never asked me to save my job. At least not that I can remember. I went in and looked today and I didn't see any job. If I select the same thing again and point it to the existing backup, will it add any updated files? Or will it write the entire job over?

Thanks.

Hello kev914,

Thank you for using Acronis Products

When creating a backup from Archive location window you can choose either “Create new backup archive” or “Add to existing backup archive”. If you choose the first the full backup archive will be overwritten, in case you choose the second an incremental backup archive will be added to an existing full backup. Incremental backup archive will add only changes since last incremental or full backup.
