To Backup

  • External and Internal Disk (files) and OSes to backup,
  • Backup select data from Disks,
  • all separately backup-ed to the same backup disk, .

How to set up like this with features -

  1. Incremental backup method, where I only make full backups once ,

Question - as i understand from “grandfather,father,son” method - that Full backups are still neccassry when using snapshots/incremental backups, why is that ?

  1. Option Delete changes older than x.

  2. How to Only backup Select Data, like only personal data,

  3. Save a “Ghost” for other data (from internet) which is only Filename, Metadata and Folder-Structure.

  4. “File Change Tracker” to see summary of what files are moved/deleted/renamed.

  5. “File History” where I see previous version of files.

  6. I would like to configure from inside the folders, for the disks (not OS), e.g. have .backupfile file containing something like - backup=1, or have select file backuped/not-backedup.
