different options, same result?
OK - so what's the net difference between the two options:
a) Copy different files b) smart update When backing up all files? After reading both options over and over, I can't see how the end result would be any different... please advise. I must be missing something easy here. -gb |

Smart Update is just like Copy Different, but adds "delete". In other words, if you remove a file from the source, it'll be removed from the destination with Smart Update, but NOT with Copy Different.
That's why Smart Update is just like erase, then copy... but Copy Different is not. In addition, neither Copy Different nor Copy Newer guarantee a bootable result. Hope that helps!

If you had a non-boot drive you were backing up, and didn't want to delete files from that drive, but wanted any existing files and folders to exactly reflect the source.

Hadn't thought of that.
Now I have a much clearer picture of how best to use SD in my environment. Thanks for the explanations. -gb Geoff Brandt President, The TCS Group geoffb@TheTCSGroup.com www.CorporateWriting.com 714-730-8959 |
