Windows 7 keeps Pro backup making new games to backup every 3-5 days

I am backup on a network location. Windows backup is a new backup set every 3-5 days. (In Vista, backup did not this... I did manually every month 1-2).

It's take a lot of hard drive space and does not allow me to keep older backups (and versions of file) as long as I would like. Is there a way to stop the backup to do this automatically?

Moreover, it happens on both my and my wife's Windows 7 Pro machines. I paid the extra money twice for the right Pro version for this backup app works on my network.

Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? This feature would be nice if he did this every 30 days or more. Not every 3 days. Please notify.

Thank you.

I got around that a bit. Here's what I do...

I have a laptop HD (250 GB) I do a full backup on via USB, including image system, once a month. Then use the NAS (1 TB) disk for daily backups, * NOT * including the image of the system.

It works much better (without accidents or mistakes of mystery), faster, takes up less space and its backup sets new not create nearly as often. I did this about 3 months now and I'm getting a complete new only once a month right after I save it to your portable drive.

So, if I get a crash, I can restore from the portable drive frist. Its much faster than over the network as well. Then just update the new or changed files through the network backup.

Now, just to clarify, you need to change backup settings to local disk backup, USB, then change again once it's done to get on the network.

My daughter has a Mac. Here's how it saves.

(1) plug the USB HD it uses for backup.

(2) IT NOT THERE NO STEP 2! Time Machine does it all. so easy.

It then, I would like to think I didn't need Windows for some things. Quicken on the sucks Mac, MLS (real estate site) does not work in Safari and Outlook for Mac leave much to be desired. I would like to switch to Mac in a blink of an eye. I can still the next time and dual boot via boot camp, only when I absolutely have to.
