How do I do incremental backups?

I have Ghost 15 on a win 7 laptop.

 

I like doing OneTimeBackups (full disk image copy) from time to time.

 

But I'd like to also use FileAndFolder backups to just backup files/folders that have changed or been added to select locations AFTER the last OneTimeBackup.

 

If I could do that, then whenever I do another new OneTimeBackup, I'd delete all the FileFolder backups and start over and again backup selected files/folders from this new/latest disk image backup.

 

I know how to do the OneTimeDIsk backups, but I can't figure out how to do the FileFolder incremental backups as I just described.

 

Can someone post the steps needed do accomplish the above workflow or confirm this is not possible with Ghost 15?

 

Thanks.

hey thanks, but that doesn't create incremental backups that are based on any given full disk image.  I want only files that have changed since the last image was taken to be backed up.  I'm guessing this can't be done.

Hi Lauren2008

 

What you are asking to see will not happen in the way you express it.

 

A full image backup, if set up as a regular backup job will do a full image and then incremental backups of all subsequent changes  - not just specified file and folder changes.

 

If you set up a file/folder backup it will do a full backup of those specified file types/locations and then any changes seen on subsequent runs.
