I created a new configuration and that seemed to work as I wanted so I think I am all set.

The only thing different with this one was that I didn't have to empty the trash after it was all done. I usually have to do that. We'll see if if I have to do that next time.

Yep. The La Cie I am have attached gets backed up as well. And I have a NAS that has backups on it too but they aren't current as it is so slow it isn't worth backing up to.

Interesting, thanks!

I have a 500 gb MacBook Air that I need to make some room on. I have a La Cie 4 tb drive that is always connected to it. I have been using FreeFileSync weekly to keep it up to date for about a year. (I also use Time Machine on a different drive to do daily backups.) The La Cie also has all of the ...
