backup scheme limitations

Thread needs solution

I am having a problem getting the program to do the type of backup I want.
Basically, I want to do a full backup daily, but keep them separate. I do not want the program deleting previous backups. Every few days I move the existing backups to an external drive.

I have it set how it seems logical, but I get strange results. My C drive backup is about 60 GB in size. Yet, looking at the listing on the 'backup & recovery' page, it says that my backup is around 450 GB in size. I don't understand what it is doing, or why it won't just give me a separate individual backup each night.

I am not interested in incremental backups, or any of that. I just want a single, full backup to be done every night. Seems simple to me, but the program doesn't seem to offer this option.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Phil Buglass

Phil,

A screen shot of what you see would be nice :)

How exactly have you set the task up? Could you post either a screen shot of the task set up or post your task script here (export the task and upload the resulting XML file. Make sure you remove your email address from the file if you ahve the system set up to email you).

If you manually move images, TI will become confused and normally do strange things with file names.
