Backing-up takes too long.
I have pruned my hard disk and archived a lot of my video files, this has left my C:drive storing 252 GB out of a total capacity of 1..15 TB. I have now backed up the C:drive to an external hard drive (I:) and the backup has a total volume of 452 GB. Incidentally, it took nearly 4 hours to carry out the backup even though there was already a previous system backup on that hard drive (I:). Why is the new backup so large and why did the process take so long?
I have carried out a search in the Forums but I have not found an article that answers my questions.
