Why "move and start from scratch"? Why don't you just copy the folder and let the backup keep working? I want to do that every 6 months... > Suggestions? > Do you really need the full BackupPC data structure, including the different snapshots, or is one copy of the data enough? For the latter case maybe the "Archive" function is better, as you get the files with the original files structure and names. However, you also lose the deduplication. I do a full Archive of my backups every 2 months to an external drive, but I have little overlap of files so losing deduplication is not an issue. Regards, Guillermo
