Hi Jack,

Watch your videos on Youtube, very helpful.

However I have a question about Incremental backups in PE6.

I have made my main backup on my external hard drive and given it a folder name. However when I do an Incremental backup and specfiy the backup path it puts the incremental backup just on my hard drive and not into the folder I have made.

Is there any way around this.

Many thanks.

This may be one for my play book. I will have to play with this and get back to you on it.

Thanks for writing in.

Hi Jack, Any chance we can nudge you into doing a short video on Incremental Backup procedure. I followed your example for doing a full backup to an external hard drive and it worked well. But...
When I try to do the incremental backup, it asks if I want to overwrite the original? I don't think I want to do that. Right now it just seems easier to do another full backup to a different file.
I think I'm lost somewhere in the process and can't find a answer on the Adobe site.
Thanks for your videos. I'm new to the Elements package and you are helping me to get a better understanding of whats going on.

You are correct it always asks if you wish to over write the old backup. I always choose yes and then the backup runs. The reason it does this is because it will still use the backup you have and just add the new pictures to that file. So in fact it is over writing the file.


Thanks for the question and keep editing
