    Hello!

    I`ve just finished backing up my computer using integrated windows complete pc function.I saved the copy on empty external HD and the process went well without complications.But the question is when i open the external HD to see the copy of backup i found a folder,when i put the pointer on it ,it says that the folder is empty,but when i look at the empty external HD i found that it`s taken a used space about 30gb.

    Is that normal? Should the folder be empty when you point on it?Did my back up copy succeed or should i try again?

    Thanks!
