Hello,<br />
<br />
I am using Windows 2008 backup to backup automatically the whole server on a 1Tb USB drive<br />
Everything is set up as default options<br />
Data to save is about 200Mb<br />
<br />
Problem: <br />
Sometimes, and without any reason, all incremental backups are erased, and backups stored on the usb drive starts again from 1, 2, 3, ect...<br />
I am losing all the history backup<br />
And I do not know why <br />
<br />
Thank you for your help<br />
<br />

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.
