Vista - Backup

10-01-2008

For some reason I cannot explain my backup has backed up onto the hard dics
using Microsoft backup doubling the content leaving little space on the disc.
How can I delete this backup from the disc.

Start by finding a Windows group for your question. Here's how:

As you appear to be using a web interface:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx

Click the + beside your language. then scroll down to Windows. In Windows,
find the category for your version of Windows. Open it and find a group for
your question.

Hello,

Backups are saved in this format: (backup location)\(computer name)\Backup Set (year-month-day) (time)
If the backup was done on Local Disk D: at 9/7/2007 1:00:50 PM (It uses 24 hour time), then the full backup file path would be: D:\Computer\Backup Set 2007-09-07 130050
Right click the folder Backup Set 2007-09-07 130050 and click on Delete to delete that backup.
