Can Windows 7 backup be run while working with multiple applications
I'm getting an alert from Windows 7 that it is detecting problems on my hard drive. I am therefore trying to frequently backup while I try to figure out if it is a false alarm or not.
However, the backup is taking 4-5 hours, even after I do a complete backup and then I have to just do what I was assuming only the delta between the previous backup in the current backup.
Since it is taking that much time, I have no my choice except to work on the different applications that I am using.
Since it seems that the Windows backup is backing up the systems file as well as the application configuration, will it become a problem if I'm working on the applications on the machine while also trying to back them up?
An additional question is why is it taking that much time for every backup even though Windows 7 is backing up to the same file on the same external hard drive. It seems it is trying to do a backup from scratch every time I invoke it
Thanks for any inputs
