Help! 1286 Backup.zip files-low on disk space error

boidsonly said:

I have 1286 Backup.zip files and assume they are Win 7 backups? Is it safe to delete them and why are there so many? Do I have a setting turned on that I don't need? I am getting "low on disk space" messages now and can't quite figure it out?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

In which folder? What are the file date/time? I mean are they cretaed each day/week/hour?

D:\JEFFX505Q898\Backup Set 2012-10-07 190001\Backup Files 2012-10-07 190001\Backup files 1.zip

JEFFX505Q898 is the name of your machine? you can see it in system>properties.

They are backup files.

Thanks for the reply. What/where should I look to see what is causing the backups to run so often? Sorry for the lack of experience with this issue but this has me perplexed...
