Backup Question

Hello:

I have been using Windows Live OneCare Backup for some time W/O problems. I now want to do a complete new backup on a new external HD so that I can keep it off site (away from my office) in case of fire. One Care seems to want to only back up new files or changed files since my last backup. How can I do a complete (mirror) backup on a new device?

Thank you

The only way to do this is to reset your backup plan: FAQ: How to reset backup plan settings (single PC)

Then perform the new full backup.

Reset the plan again, and perform a new backup on the original drive. it will be a full backup. After it completes, if you desire, you can then delete the old backup from the drive.
