Hi,
Sorry I'm new and my question is a simple question...
When I select the source to be backed up, I select "folders" then I select the whole data volume (for exemple D:/), I did selected "include subfolder"
but in the resume of selected parameters the "weight" of the backup is only 1.69 GB

Why? My Volume D:/ is much bigger...

I have to select each folder to be sure all folders in a volume are backed up?


Another question: Wich are the most important system files / folders that I have to back up (C:/ ...?)
I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit version

PS: Sorry for my bad english write ;-)

Thank very much to all

Perhaps the Cobian service logon account does not have permission to access all of the files on D:?

I would not use Cobian to backup system OS or program files.
