For reasons more complicated than you want to hear, I need to create a brand new backup. I deleted the old backup on my external drive, but when I now do a backup it backs up all with their archive bit set properly, but I want to back up *everything* nonetheless. Any LiveOneCare experts with ideas?

How do I reset backup

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
