|    dragging and dropping backup not going a    |

      From: wayne34@no_verizon.net              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.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
