I personally should not save importent data as a back up on a USB drive, and especially not on an NTFS formatted such.
I changed once PC and moved several 100 photos with a portable USB HDD and many photos were damaged, some were completely destroyed, others had strokes and lines, or were discolored. I have heard that an NTFS formatted USB unit is more sensitive to interruptions and a Legacy Back Up is a zipped file which means that if a single bit or byte gets wrong then probably the whole file is destroyed. 2015-07-09 19:21 GMT+02:00 Donna Newell <[email protected]>: > Thank you so much Mike.
