![]() ![]() I use Karen’s Replicator v3.7.6 on my Win 10 Pro v21H2 machine to back up my entire C:\Users\ folder (changed or new files only) once a week to a removable 500 MB USB backup drive and it ran correctly today. What’s the version and build of your Win 10 OS shown at Settings | System | About | Windows Specifications, and do you use Microsoft Defender as your primary antivirus? I have been using Karenware Replicator but some windows 10 update has farked it up so the program usually says “not responding” after a while and slows down so much the backup never completes. Note: I personally refuse to use the cloud for anything due to potential security risks. Plan B: put all your backups in the cloud. I also have multiple 3TB bulk-storage drives to perform quarterly clones of that to as well. ![]() These days, with the cost per gig so incredibly low, I have multiple SSDs to perform weekly clones of my C: drive to. ![]() I’m guessing they lost or missed the update activity to my account during a recovery operation, possibly using an incremental backup and recovery. Apparently, they did a restore of an older version of their car wash/credit card file and thought the old one was still valid. 3-4 months earlier, that card had been compromised and the CC company sent me a new one with a new number, which I then updated theirs and various other sites that used that number. About a year after I started, I was informed that my credit card company denied that months’ charge. BUT… in the event of a complete restore, or even a partial restore of several incremental backups ago, it is an absolute necessity to restore each incremental backup in exact reverse order! If one is missing or the order isn’t correct, there’s a good chance something will be screwed up or, at a minimum, not the most current version.įor what it’s worth, I stopped doing business with a local carwash that offered unlimited washes for a recurring monthly charge. Back when backups were usually limited to cumbersome tape drives (mainframes as well as PCs), the standard practice was to do incremental (only changed files since xxx) backups to save time and space. ![]()
