I have all my files on an external disc, D. I only use C for system files. I have activated ”Säkerhetskopia” , I guess ”Backup” in English. Säkerhetskopia is ordered to backup on another external disc, G. The size of D is 377 GB. The size of the backup on G is 1,67 TB, and rapidly increasing. What’s wrong?
📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses concerns about a backup process where the user, JeanM, has stored files on external drive D and has set up a backup to external drive G using "Säkerhetskopia." JeanM notices that the backup size (1.67 TB) is much larger than the original data (377 GB) and is expanding quickly, raising questions about what might be wrong. A responder suggests that the issue might be due to the backup app writing a new file each time rather than replacing the old one, which could explain the rapid increase in backup size.

Not replacing the backup file just writing a new file? Maybe!
