| | backing up a file I recently ran into this problem and would like to solve it. I copied a file onto a flash drive then, 24 hours later wanted to backup the same file. I saved it to the same flash drive and instead of asking me if I wanted to replace the already existing files, it just made another copy of the same folder and the files inside it under the same names. I thought that was impossible and am puzzled as to why I was not able to replace the existing older files. Any help will be appreciated. -- 52020703781 |

| | Re: backing up a file My Verbatim memory sticks have a privacy zone that can be activated. Maybe you saved first time while in a privacy zone, and second time just to the unencrypted portion of flash stick? netlink "pctutor" <pctutor@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:8DEF5808-8C40-4DA9-AC39-2E8172E0F937@xxxxxx Quote: >I recently ran into this problem and would like to solve it.
