You only need to an "update" which will only update things that changed since 
the last backup.

You can have other projects: contacts, pictures, etc to separately project any 
data that may be important to you.

You can even backup a directory on the card, like a PowerRun or Linkstart 
directory where files may be deleted and wouldn't otherwise be backed up.


Thanks,
I'll see you on the web!

 IMO, the only reason to do incremental instead of full backups is if
 time is an issue.  If it's going to happen while you're asleep, does it
 really matter how long it takes?

 Mine take ~7 minutes to back up 384 files / 25.3MB.  It's set to
 compute CRC (so Winzip on my desktop can open them if necessary) and
'fastest' compression.  It's also set to clear the dbcache when done,
 which itself takes a couple minutes.

 Note that this is on a 680, and I'm backing up to a PNY 2GB SD card.
 The 755 may work faster or slower, and your card may also be faster, or
 slower.
