How do I exclude an existing System Backup file from being
backed up when I do another COMPLETE Windows System Backup
to a different hard drive? My 200GB Hard Drive goes to
15% free when I have two system backup files on it, one
old backup file and the new one that system backup is
creating.
Thanks for any ideas that you can suggest that will solve
my problem.
Ron

Ron,
The problem is the size of the backup file.. and in theory at least,
we shouldnt have a backup trail.. especially if your 200GB hard drive
is not good enough for the backup.
Apologise for restating the obvious , which u must have considered
anyway, you should backup your old system backup file on another
device or consider using remotely hosted online backups.

Map,

You should click on Start, and then 'help and support' - somewhere on
that screen (usually far right) - it will tell what os u have
