   I have one external USB hard drive I use as a backup of an internal hard   
   drive in the PC.  Although I have occasionally used Clonezilla to simply   
   back up the files to the external HD, I thought it might go much quicker   
   if I simply dragged and dropped from the PC drive to the external drive,   
   but this isn't going as expected.   
      
   What I've been trying to do is to simply select all folders on the   
   internal drive and then copy and paste them onto the external hd.   
   Because there are already folders present on the external hd from a   
   prior back up, when I am presented with the pop up asking if I want to   
   merge the files with the existing, I simply select no, apply to all   
   files and skip.  However, much to my surprise, some or all of the new   
   files aren't being saved to the external drive.   
      
   Correcting this would be welcome and thanks in advance.
