Differential backup or incremental backup or what?

Some say the one some say the other. I don't get it.

I have been reading about ntbackup (I'm having XP-PRO) and experimenting with .

It is not easy and a lot confusing (I know of the advance-option).

All I want is to have a uptodate copy of MyDoc-folder.

99% of the MyDoc-folder do very rarly change.

So I figure I most have one copy and then apon running backup (2 or 3 times a week)

exchange in the copy

only the files which has changed or been added

(I can't see that I need a raw of files, just one).

It sounds so easy when thinking of it, but hard to me to do.

Can anybody give ("spelled out" ) instruction on how do do it.



Mary christmas and a happy new year

The Internet can be a great source of information, and you can find that
information in your own language. Here is an Internet search query (in
English) to start you off:
