    We need all the details -- what happens when you try?

    Can you locate the TLY file as well as the image files?

    Well, when you do an incremental back-up you need to navigate to the TLY file which contains the last catalog back-up.

     

    Start by creating a new folder or label a new CD/DVD Disk - its best to use dates e.g. PSE10 incr backup 2012-0814

     

    Press Ctrl+B and check Incremental, then click Next

    Highlight your drive containing the last backup and click the bottom Browse button (previous back up file) then navigate to the TLY file and click open.

    Click the Browse button above and navigate to your new folder “PSE10 inc backup 2012-0814”

    Click Done.

     

    If your full backup originally contained 500 images, the incremental backup will only contain changes since the last backup e.g. files B000501.jpg, B000502.jpg etc

    If you ever have to do a complete restore you start with the TLY file from the latest incremental backup. The program automatically recognizes the number of incremental steps and you will be prompted to insert a disc or navigate to the appropriate drive.

     

    Incremental backup’s are obviously much quicker to write to disk but I recommend that you periodically perform another full backup and delete any earlier backups.
