Backup backs up my backup drive - isn't this redundant?
in [Windows XP]
|
Prev: IE8 works, but Firefox, Opera etc. do not
Next: Why does "Find Printer" fail (directory service unavailable)?
From: sduraybito on 6 Dec 2009 00:10 When I backup using the System State option, my existing backup file on my external Seagate E drive is also backed up. Isn't this sort of redundant? How do I get the System State backup of just my computer and exclude the backup E drive? Thanks, Peter
