Back up HDD and my main HDD disk don't match up. I'm confused!
Last response: in Storage
Okay, so here's my set-up
Main HDD: IDE Maxtor 160 gb
Backup HDD: IDE Western Digital 250 gb
My maxtor currently has "65.9 gb free of 152 gb" while my western digital has "84.6 gb free of 232 gb". I'm using the windows 7 backup utility, and I'm not sure why things aren't matching up. Backed-up my hard drive just an hour ago.
One thing to note, if it makes any difference: A week ago I restored my windows 7 to a "previous point", because a patch for a game didn't work out. (previous point being a few minutes before the patch was installed).
So, can someone help explain to me why my back-up HDD is using so much more space? Thanks.
