Sound Card Driver Updating: Troubleshoot:Backup Hard Drive

Backup Hard Drive

First, I am using a USB portable backup hard drive.
I don't know if this is suitable because the thing runs all the time.
When i get another, I am not sure what I should get??? Also, the main question I need to know is after I create a system image, then
it still wants me to make a back-up.
I believe this is so that it can update the changing files in the computer on a regular basis so that I don't lose anything.
Problem I am having is the weekly backup increases in size by huge leaps.
My back-up hard drive
will have say 130 gig on it the next week it has 150, the following 175, until a month later the 230 gig hard drive I believe is full.
Not sure what is going on????
Thanks,
Doug

Hi Doug,

An image backup is different than a regular backup.
If you are creating an image backup on top of the regular backup, then you will see this behavior.
You can disable the automatic creation of an image backup and perform that manually if desired.

Note: This applies to Windows 7 also.

Hope this information is helpful.
