I have started to use File History for a while now. I used to love it because of its ease of use. I ran into a problem recently though when I ran out of room on my backup drive and needed to free some up.
I went into the advanced settings and cleaned up all backups except the last one. I figured Its all backed up, nothing really has changed on my current running disk, so why should I need countless backup dates. So I removed all backups except the latest backup.
Well after I did this, I realized the "Latest Backup" did "NOT" contain what should have been a "FULL" Backup. This seems to be a flaw in the backup software. Removing all backups except the latest backup should have moved all current versions of the backups files up to the latest backup.
Now Im sitting with a backup that is missing files that should be present. Performing a manual backup doesnt back these files up either. For some reason the file history doesnt think it needs to back these files up.
My only option now to get a full backup is to completely delete my backup and reset up the file history.
Has anyone else had this issue?
