Backup file got larger and larger!?
I bought an external 60 GB USB (2.0) Hard Drive
(partitioned into 2 partitions) to"back up" the 30 GB HD in my Dell SX270. I used the OS' (Win2000 Professional) "backup" command. The 1st backup seemed normal, and I backed up fairly frequently. Finally, the last backup failed because of "insufficient hard drive space". The primary (internal) hard drive has only about 10GB used, so why has this "backup" policy consumed the entire 30GB partition? Since I assume the backup file is not correct, I deleted it (it was a single filename). It also seems that the SX270 treats the external HD as a "tape drive" in some message I received. I'd like the partition on the external HD to be able to restore the system if the original HD fails, and I put in a new, unformatted one. TIA |
