[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1768058, member: 131855"] Just to give us a bit of an idea what we are up against a few questions occur to me: 1. Assuming that no backup has been made initially, roughly how much data is involved (number of files/total amount of data)? 2. Roughly what percentage of the data would remain unchanged and thus need to be copied on the next backup? 3. Do you need to keep different versions of the data around? In other words suppose the first backup is made and before the second backup is made 10 files are changed. On the next backup all files except those 10 are copied. When the next backup is made is it OK to overwrite this backup with the next batch of unchanged files. @Rod Sprague to do what the OP wants CCC would have to be configured to do somewhat the opposite of an incremental backup. In CCC's incremental backups files that are changed while the OP wants to copy files that are unchanged. [/QUOTE]
