Managing file and folder backup data
Because drive-based backups capture your entire hard drive, the size of a recovery
point is typically much larger than the data that is captured during the file and
folder backups. However, file and folder backup data can take up significant disk
space if it is not managed. For example, audio files, video files, and photographs
are typically large files.
You must decide how many versions of backup files that you want to keep. This
decision can depend on how frequently you change the content of your files and
how frequently you run the backups.
Viewing how much file and folder backup data is being stored
Start by viewing the total amount of file and folder backup data you are currently
storing.
To view how much file and folder backup data is being stored
1
On the Tools page, click Manage Backup Destination.
2
To select an alternate backup destination, in the Drives drop-down list, select
another drive to use as a backup destination.
3
Near the bottom of the Manage Backup Destination window, view the Space
used for file and folder storage box to see how much storage space is currently
used.
