Home Forums Discussions General Discussion Multiple backups, multiple places

Okay this is a rather long thread and i read through it but I have a couple questions.

1. Is it possible that when we back up scheduled, it doesn't automatically put it in the ac/backup folder? as it is, I back it up to a different partition and a completely different drive. the AC folder is on the main C: drive so if the computer crashes, that is going to be lost anyway. The problem is that every day it makes a new dated back up file so the GB's get used up pretty quickly after a while, unless you go in and delete files every week.

2. On this thread why are people backing up their whole system? You don't need to back up apps and stuff, you have the disks or ways to get the programs again. Just back up data. back up your AC backup files, not the AC program folder every night. You don't need to back up MS word or excel, just the documents, pictures, pdf's etc. This will save you time and headaches!

3. Are people using both the AC backup and something like carbonite or jungle disk? IS there any extra advantage to using the AC back up system?

I guess it was two questions and one comment.
