Yeah, apparently the subsequent backups remove anything that's on the previous backups but not on the later ones. It works well for my situation. But, there could be a problem if something has been deleted that wasn't supposed to be deleted. However, it could probably be restored from the...
Hello Rclarke250 - You know I think you might be incorrect about the deleted files and folders being restored. I did a little test on a folder from which I knew I’d deleted a sub-folder after the original backup, but before the first differential backup. I created a folder called “Backup test,”...
