    Hi!

    I got a Samsung R510 Aura Notebook with Samsung Recovery Solution III installed and I've one question about it:

    I made a complete backup from the C-Drive on my external HDD. If I now make a new backup, it only offers the option to overwrite the old backup. Is there no possibility to create more backups on my exeternal HDD to have images in different conditions ready? There's plenty of diskspace left on the disk.

    Cheers,
    Tobi

    How about moving /renaming your previous backup (eg put it in a folder with its date in the name)?

    UPDATE:

    I directly wrote an e-mail to Samsung in Germany and they told me that there can only exist one backup per target drive.

    I still think that moving the backup just to a different folder might do the trick, but I'm not sure and somehow don't want to risk it because I don't want to mess up the file structure from the programm... So I rather go for a commercial backup solution.

    Cheers
