Mirror Backup
Posted: Sun Nov 30, 2014 8:01 am
Hi,
I have a question using the mirror backup.
From what I understand, a mirror backup is an identical backup of the source (admittedly, I do not understand the difference between this and the second backup option - "full" backup - can someone please explain this?).
Anyway, I successfully made a backup in the past.
2 days ago, I ran the mirror backup. I expected only the new files since the last backup to be added and deleted files since the last backup to be deleted. Rather than doing this, it seems like it's doing a "find and replace" - it is copying over all the files in the source and overwriting the existing files in the destination. It took about 2 days to do a simple backup and test.
Can someone please help me understand the issue and resolve it?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
