Delete a backup disk?
I have 2 questions..
Running Win7 Home Premium on a HP desktop, current with all Windows Update patches.
1. I have been using Windows Backup for a couple of years to back up this PC to a 1TB external HD. The HD contains a system image and several backups. I replaced the 1TB external HD with a USB3 2TB external HD on 1/2/2013, but did not delete the backup files on the old USB2 HD. The old HD is no longer connected, but I have it available. Windows Backup continues to "know" about the old HD and its contents even though it is no longer connected. How do I "delete" the old HD from Windows Backup's memory of it?
2. On the new HD, I have run Windows Backup 3 times, creating both the system image and the files backup, and letting Windows Backup manage the space rather than only keeping the most recent files backup. I ran the 1st backup when I installed the 2TB external HD. The 2nd backup ran automatically last night, and the 3rd backup I ran "manually", a few minutes ago. On the HD now is the system image and only 1 files backup that spans the date range from 1/2 until today. My question is - why were not 3 files backups saved on the HD rather than only the 1?
