Hi Gang!
In Windows 8.0 File History, it had the nasty habit of duplicating your library files on your backup ( in my case, my external USB backup drive ( Replica 2 Terabyte ). By DUPLICATING, I mean they get copied over and over and over again... This happens to ALL of them, even though you have not touched the majority of them for YEARS. (File History is suppose to copy them over the FIRST time, then copy a new copy with a new name (old name plus date) if you edit the file in any way). I turned of file indexing on ALL my drives, except my C: drive, to see if that would stop it ( this is recommended in many threads on other sites ).
I thought, ok.. maybe they fixed this in 8.1. No dice. It just started up again.... sigh....
Just thought I'd let you know. If anyone knows of a fix or cure for this abhorent behavior, please let us know.
Thanks!
