I think that I have been doing full backups all along. The idea of
incremental backups didn't even cross my mind. I have to check weather
or not Ghost
has that option. With the old disk I always named the backups
differently and only two backups fitted to the disk at the same time.

I am using Ghost from Windows.
First I select the drives that are to be backupped into a file (C,D
and E)
by pressing the backup button.
Then I select the target file (F:\B9.gho) by using the browse button.
When press the proceed button Ghost gives me the error message.
