    Hi,

    Anyone else tried the 30 day free trial for this? Cloud backup sounds like a good idea but the "files management" for deleting files from the cloud seems like a pain!! (Have to tick each individual file backed up) - Am I missing something here?

    It's for better control and to avoid any issues. That way you won't end up deleting something you didn't mean to. :p

    Thanks - strangely enough the new update for alien respawn has included the option to delete folders on the cloud which makes it much easier!

    Also - I created a rescue disk with my 1TB external hard drive and it formatted it into DBR_Boot (432gb) and DBR_Master (930gb) - why are there two partitions?

    It is in FAT32 as well - can I change it to NTFS without it messing up the rescue disk?

    Thanks

    I think you need to format the drive to change it to NTFS. :(

    Ah so this is not something that would have been done by Alienrespawn it's just how my drive came? NTFS sounds appealing because it doesn't have the 4gb limit
