Getting confused between file and partition backup and more
Hi
OK, best start by describing my system.
I have three internal drives.
500GB SSD C drive
1TB D drive
1TB F drive (old drive in new system)
External 2TB E-SATA drive for back ups.
All has been well for a while but now that I am filling up the system things have started to go wrong.
The sum of my combined drives is just under 2TB at the moment.
I started with partition backups of all internal drives.
Incremental and more or less monthly.
For photos and videos because I do a fair bit I have incremental weekly backups arranged.
One off backups for iTunes and other music as it does not change often.
Weekly incremental backup of important documents to the D drive.
But I am confused, because of course the partition backups also contain the files I am backing up more regularly, so in fact I am repeating some of them.
Can I recover individual files from partition backups?
I'd be most grateful if someone could help me sort out my backup procedures.
Incremental, full I understand but I see also differential and more.
Thanks in advance
Mike
