Hi
I had a Windows Home Server coming to the end of its trial, I had loaded it with around 700 GB of data and had file duplication turned on for all folders. I had not backed up
any of the computers connected to it. Its only purpose was to store my photo collection. To save all the data stored on it I added a 1Tb drive to back up the data stored in the shared folders. Over a number of days I ran the built in back up program several
times.
The drive was then placed in to a computer running Windows XP Pro this showed the drive has having 16 folders each named with a date and time.
On checking the drive via my computer – properties I get, used space 866 GB, free space 65 GB, total size 931 GB.
Now if I right click and open the drive I see 16 folders, if I now highlight them all and click on properties I get 4.35 GB.
Since the maximum size of the drive is 931Gb how can it say it has 4.35Tb of data on the drive?
If I delete all to folders other than the last dated one will that last folder have all the data from the server in it?
How can I move data off the drive and know I have moved the data and not just a pointer to the data?
Is the a Windows Home Server article and or help file on this issue?
Thanks in advance.
