Incremental backup method, where I only make full backups once , Question - as i understand from “grandfather,father,son” method - that Full backups are still neccassry when using snapshots/incremental backups, why is that ? 2. Option Delete changes older than x. 3. How to Only backup Select Data, like only personal data, 4. Save a “Ghost” for other data (from internet) which is only Filename, Metadata and Folder-Structure. 5. “File Change Tracker” to see summary of what files are moved/deleted/renamed. 6. “File History” where I see previous version of files. 7. I would like to configure from inside the folders, for the disks (not OS), e.g. have .backupfile file containing something like - backup=1, or have select file backuped/not-backedup.
