I was told that this feature can cause.
It appears on the surface to be a good away to keep track of your files. If you insert a 4 GB flash drive and check it in a month, or use it before that, do you find any substance to what I was told about it?

File History

My keyboard batteries need changing and I did not proof read - apologies.

I was told that file history can cause problems. The informant was not clear or specific. I
aim glad I wrote to you because I did not know the size of the drive was insufficient. I have a 1T and a 2T usb drive I image to so I have enough room. You seem to indicate it is a functional, worthwhile application so I am going to try it. I image, but not incrementally, so I need file back up in the interim. This sounds right for that.
I particularly like the fact that you can right click and pick out a single file to copy or restore.
Thank you for the very informative tutorial.
Thank you again.
Peter
P.S. automatic spell checking is now on. :eek:

You're most welcome Peter.

No worries, I thought that's what you meant, but just wanted to make sure. :)
