Vista - How do I delete a specific Complete PC backup?

Hi,

I have an external usb HD that I save my Complete PC Backups to and
can't figure out how to delete a specific one. don't want to delete all of
them, just a specific one. Have 5 on the HD and it's not the oldest, or
newest. Any ideas?

If you right click on it in windows explorer and select delete what happens?

When I open the Windows Backup on the external drive, it is not formatted
with separate Complete PC Backups, it uses incremental backups for more than
just the initial backup and has a catalog, Am not familiar with the
procedure.
Don't want to just delete the whole backup folder.

Hi Jeff,

The "Backup Location" section at the top of this tutorial will help you out on this.

Backup Complete Computer


If you only have one "Backup 2007-09-07 010050" type folder with only one date in the "WindowsImageBackup" folder, then you only have one complete pc backup that has been updated each time you did a backup.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi Jeff,

First backup: Complete
2nd backup: Incremental, so just the changes since the first.
3rd backup: Incremental, so just the changes since the second.
4th backup: Incremental, so just the changes since the third.
5th backup: Incremental, so just the changes since the fourth.

Remove any one of the 2nd, 3rd or 4th, and you would be missing bits. So, I
think you'll either have to leave them all as is, or start again.
