I use incremental backup to removable disk (CD/DVD). How can I make sure only the new and modified files are backed up?

If for that backup job in Backup Properties->Advanced you had the option Use local catalogs (.bkc ) checked when you did the backup, then you just have to run the backup job normally because Backup4all will recognize the modified files and backup only those. If you didn't have that option checked you must insert the CD/DVD with the latest backup catalog (".bkc") file and then perform the backup. The system will read the ".bkc" file and build the list of new and modified files. Then press backup and you will be asked to enter a new CD/DVD (if the Ask for a new disk before backup option is set in the Options window, Backup page). Only new files will be copied to the new CD/DVD.

ReviewsReviews

"To be honest, I always say <<I'll burn that backup folder someday this week>> and the week passes without having my files backed up.

Reviews

With Backup4all this issue can disappear, and the stress related to <<what if my hard drive crashes>> problem will disappear. I think that I'll leave the backup tasks for this program from now on. What about you?"
