I currently use MS Backup, and this weekend ran a manual backup after upgrading a few drives for larger capacity. The backup time is crazy (it took well over 24 hours to backup and verify around 240GB of data) so I was wondering if anyone can offer some advice...
I currently use "normal" backup option. There are several different types (differential, incremental etc). I chose "normal" because I wanted to make sure that every change gets backed up - even if I modify FLAC tags, but maintain the last update timestamp (which is my preferred way to go). I wasn't sure if MS backup is clever enough to know that the file has changed even if the last update timestamp remains unchanged. So to be safe, I just chose "normal" backup. So basically - is MS backup clever enough to detect differences in files (e.g. tag updates) even if the last update timestamp is unchanged? If so, what is the best backup option to use - differential, maybe? If MS backup won't be able to detect that change, is there any other backup utility I can use instead, and that will detect updates to tags? Cheers!
