Backup Software
I purchased a backup software called Dantz Retrospect. I backed up data onto
my internal, which took up twice the original space because it pratically mirror the data. Where are backups usually stored? I can't seem to get rid of it. It is taking up lots of space on my internal hard drive. What are my solutions? |

Backup Software
In ,
kevin had this to say: My reply is at the bottom of your sent message: I purchased a backup software called Dantz Retrospect. I backed up data onto my internal, which took up twice the original space because it pratically mirror the data. Where are backups usually stored? I can't seem to get rid of it. It is taking up lots of space on my internal hard drive. What are my solutions? I've never used that software and so, your solutions are to contact them for more information or to consider an alternate product and try to get your money back. My limited advice is given he Backup! Image/Clone : http://kgiii.info/windows/all/advanced/image-clone.html Establishing a backup plan and a life cycle for the data is important for even home users. Finding what works best for you, however, is a road I can't lead you on as my choices are very specific to my needs. -- Galen - MS MVP - Windows (Shell/User & IE) http://dts-l.org/ "My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the commonplaces of existence." - Sherlock Holmes |

Where are backups usually stored? I can't seem to get rid of it. It is taking up lots of space on my internal hard drive. What are my solutions? If you have the backup file stored on the same hard drive then your data isn't really backed up. You need to store the backup files on either an external hard drive or removable media such a CD or DVD. Think about it, if your internal hard drive fails, how do you recover your data? Even a second internal hard drive isn't a great backup solution. Consider investing in an external USB hard drive or a DVD burner if you want to protect your data. Good luck Nepatsfan |
