I am trying to get why (with my aging brain and logic) I would to take up space on my Toshiba external hard drive by turning Windows 7 Backup System Protection to "ON".
This is done typically in the Backup setup portion of Backup and Restore in Control Panel which send you to System Properties, and the System Protection tab.
Tried to force the protection to use 1% to see what would happen, but Windows forced it to 30%.
I was attempting to see why a complete System Image is created every weekly backup I do (my choice weekly). I thought it would do incrementals, then after so many restore points were filled the System Protection space allocation, do a System Image, then and delete the previous incrementals.
And there is a warning about "shadow copies" being deleted quicker than normal (whatever "normal" is) if you use system protection on the same volume as the System Image.
Just beginning to get involved with the whole Windows Backup and Restore process. Is it unnecessarily convoluted, and lacking any good sequential tutorials as it seems to me?
Thanks
