I have that one saved backup system, is there a reason to keep additional files prior to the last backup of system? I can remove them systematically?

I run the Windows Image backup to a hard drive external on a weekly schedule. The result shows on the hard drive as "WindowsImageBackup\(User name)-PC\Backup (date) (number)"-currently about 80 GB (binary).

I reserve about 135 GB of available space for backups of the system, so I save only the last backup of the system.

So far, I have no problem with that.

However, the disk hard, there is another folder '(USER NAME)-PC' & under which is a folder "backup of files (date) (number)" for each time that the backup system runs.

These files vary considerably in size - for example, 1 GB, 12 GB, 22 GB. They delete or replace automatically - just, they accumulate.

What I want to know is ~.

What is the purpose\importance of these additional files?

Since I only have a single saved backup, is there a reason to keep additional files prior to the last backup of system? I can remove them systematically?

Hello

Thanks for the reply.

File '(Computer name)-PC "contains the files necessary for the Windows. Data files saved in libraries, on the desktop, and if the Windows folders for all people with a user account on the computer are also recorded.

[The default Windows folders include AppData, Contacts, desktop, downloads, Favorites, links, saved parties and searches.]

The size of these files increases, because the content of the folders mentioned above increases.

For more information, see the article mentioned below:

How Windows selects the files to back up?

I hope this helps. Otherwise, feel free to write us again and we will be happy to help you.

Thank you

  • using 30 firefox in windows 7, I get a blank when you restart, if I don't have that one tab open when I close it.

  • Whenever I turn on my computer I get a box that pops up and say "Update: there is an error during installation." Please reinstall the application.

    Whenever I turn on my computer I get a box that pops up and say "Update: there is an error during installation." Please reinstall the application"How can I do this?

    Original title: when I turn on my computer

    You should consider carefully as pop - up and determine what application has a problem.

    If he has no idea anywhere in the pop - up, first physically disconnect your computer from the Internet (because in the following steps, you will temporarily disable your antivirus software).

    • Click Start and type "msconfig.exe" (without the quotes) in the search box and press ENTER.
    • When the "System Configuration" window opens, select the tab "start".
    • Uncheck the half of the listed items (for your convenience, click on "Startup Item" in the column header to sort the items alphabetically)
    • Click OK and restart (click here to avoid the warning that you are in a diagnostic mode)

      If the pop-up warning does NOT appear, the problem application has been one of the items you unchecked.  If this is the case, reopen the System Configuration and check again half of the elements that had checked you.

      Similarly, if the pop-up warning appears, then the application problem is that remained turned on. In this case, open the Configuration of the system, again check the items that you had disabled, then uncheck half of the remaining items.

    • Restart and continue the process until you have identified the problem application.
    • Once you have identified the problem application, open System Configuration once more, select "Normal startup" on the "Général" tab and restart.
    • Do not forget to reconnect your computer to the Internet
    • Uninstall or reinstall the application issue.

    How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup on Windows XP folder?

    Hello

    The first step is to identify the program that represents the icon and decide whether it should be in the system tray (most are not necessary). Hold the cursor of the mouse on the icon to see the name of the program that launches the icon.

    The best bet is to click the icon to see if this opens the box of the program options. If so, look for a selection similar to "remove from the system tray.

    Alternatively, you can hide the icons in the system tray.

    Here's how:

    1. right click on the taskbar and select "Properties".

    2. in the "Notification area" click "Hide inactive icons" if she already unchecked and then click on the button "Customize".

    3. click on the ' column next to each of your current behavior and choose one of the three behaviors for each program icon that appears in the system tray: "Hide when it is idle," "Always hide", or "always show".»

    If you hide an icon, but then see it again the next time that you log on to Windows, you may need to uninstall the program to permanently remove the icon. Uninstall the program permanently removes the program from your computer. For more information, see Uninstall or change a program.

  • If I don't have that one window without tab, how can I remove the label of the tab at the top of the window?

    OK, I open a window on my home page. In the upper left part of the window, I have the Firefox icon and next to it the name of the page that I am. Below that is the menu bar which I use enough to leave it there. And now, with no other tabs open, is a bunch of lable/tab tab / be it with the icon of Firefox and next to him, the name of the page, I'm on. Below that is the url/address bar which usually also shows the name of the page that I am.

    I like a clean screen with small footprint as possible. Usually, I know which window to page / I'm on because I'm the one who got me here. I have need a band to additional tabs for a window that has no open tabs take more space and tell me what I already know.

    If I could drop the icon of Firefox waste than any of the top of my screen that would be great, but I'm sure that's not an option.

    If I could put this menu bar on the same line as the address bar, I'd be in heaven to the space used effectively! But I'm also sure that that won't happen either.

    This new band/tab tab label if I know that does not need to be there because he has never been before until I opened a new tab and logically would then use for tabs.

    But, given that I don't like and I want not gone, I presume this means that it is new, because one or more persons thought redundancy is fun and there is no option to remove it either.

    Someone can give information me in places where my ignorance cause me to suffer here? Give back me my thumb at the top of my screen and I promise not to ask for a mile!

    Thanks to all who can / will help me.
    Much peace

    Did you try to uncheck the "always show the bar tab" checkbox in the options on the tab? See the tab preferences and settings.

  • When you say to put in the folder it comes, he used to do, now it seems that put it in the last folder you used, I can't remember what it is that this is not possible it just?

    When I export images I check it so that the pictures in the folder just, but there is no more, it puts the photos exported in the last folder I exported photos in and if you can tell me what this was I would really appreciate it.

    I put it again and again, but it is still never done.  I'm obviously missing something.  I have the same problem with Photoshop.

    I tried what you suggested, but it did not work.

    What does your test? LR uses the preferences of the previous version file when you perform an upgrade of LR (Lr 4 to 5, LR 5 to 6, etc.). In the process of 'conversion' of the old preferences file, it can be damaged. We had many reports with many different "unexplained" symptoms after an upgrade like this. Reset the LR Preferences file solves many of these issues.

    Make sure you have "Add to catalogue" checked. If this is not the case, the exported files will not be imported into LR. You will need to right click on the folder that contains the original files and choose "Synchronize folders," which will import the exported files. Even if you have "Add to catalogue" verified that I suggest you that you synchronize the folder with the original files to see if it makes them appear.

  • I just CC with Acrobat XI. Is there a reason to keep Adobe Reader XI on my system?

    I just bought creative cloud, but I don't have a lot of space left on my hard drive I'm looking to free up some space. My question is, Adobe Reader does nothing that can't Adobe Acrobat or Reader only a subset of read-only features in Acrobat? This would be ideal, so I uninstall the drive and do everything, just the Acrobat XI.

    Thank you.

    Unless you need drive for workflow testing purposes (for example to check if a complicated form works well from the point of view of your recipients), then there is no reason to keep installed.

  • Why don't I have an address bar? He disappeared there are a few updates and is not in the Help menu.

But I did not and I'd like to get it back. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm on a Mac with the latest 10.8.3 Firefox updates are installed.

    Normally, the address bar is the most important thing on the Navigation toolbar. If you can't find it is not used in the Customize dialog box (where you can drag it onto the toolbar), you can reset your toolbars to their default controls using the button "restore default".

  • I am currently using Firefox in 3.6.27. I want to be updated, but not to "the last and best." How can I view a list of all versions of Firefox that are always available, choose the one I want and download it?

    Does not apply.

    In addition, with the new quick release cycle, the update process has changed. For example, the firefox 8 which was released several months ago is the same 8 Firefox there today. For some releases there maybe an update minor to fix one or two issues, but usually known bugs has waited until the next version which will be fixed. (Example, if a bug was in Firefox 5, it was not set up to 6, etc..). So unlike before, when you could run Firefox 3.5.x for looking after 3.6 was released, and the old version have always updated, this story has changed now.

    There is a downgrade of Firefox 3.6, which was left to the organizations until we found a strategy to support. Something that you might be interested in is the Extended Support Release of Firefox. At present, it is based on firefox 10 and you will receive minor updates for a year, then is upgraded to a version not (for example, next year it will probably be Firefox 17) If you want something that isn't to change that but always has the most recent security patches.
