I am using Ghost 14 and I use it both for a full backup of my C: drive as well as for backing up files and folders on another external USB drive. Everything has been working fine for a long time but today when I tried to back up my files and folders on the external drive it started backing them all up again instead of doing an incremental backup. The drive I'm backing up on it has about 500G on it and I am backing up to a 1T drive so by the time it got most of the way done my backup drive was almost full because the drive had been backed up twice. What I want to do is start fresh with my Files and Folders backup -- delete all the files and folders (but not recovery points) that have been backed up to recover my space on the backup drive and then manually rerun the backup jobs to get things back to normal. I figure just deleting the Files and Folders directory on my backup drive is dangerous so can anyone tell me what the proper way to do this is?
