I have just purchased a freecom 750gb hard drive and installed it. I purchased this because I had a problem with a pc breakdown and lost everything. The instructions are sparse. I think I have backed up but don't know how to check up what I have done and what is on the hard drive. Also may have done this more than once, have I duplicated the proceedure or does a second back up superceed the first one.
backups are (or should be) ongoing ...
once a day or week or month ... or just when you add new stuff
3 types of backup
complete - complete
incremental - after complete just adds changes to seperate file
differential - compares now with last ... updates the whole backup
