[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 782233, member: 48483"] It can be as simple as copying a file from one folder to another depending on how you do your backups. Right now I have software that will clone files of designated folders (I primarily just back up data and not software) from the SSD I use now on to the HDD that used to be my PC's main storage. It happens on a scheduled basis in the background when the PC is on. It's not like the very old days when HDD's were super expensive, and you had to use special tapes in a drive for backing up files. You needed special software that wrote to tape for hours, and there was some file compression, and the backup would often span many tapes if you wanted to save everything. Then the restore required the same software to find the files and copy back to the original location. I was much happier when CD-RW was finally available to consumers. [/QUOTE]
