You probably thought I was gone. I was Hehheh. I will empty the recycle bin and check before and after what is in backup.

Still *Gone*?

We always like to hear back on what the results are!

I thought you knew. Everything works fine now and I'm a genius to my wife and kid. As far as emptyinng the recycle bin, The F: drive already had done its backups for the week and there was no change in the F: drive free space when I emptied the recycle bin.
As far as I know everything is working well. I'm using 400gb for backups and have about 75gb free space on the *backup* drive. Grin

I know you recovered your OS partition, but I was wondering if you saw any increase in your *free space* after you had deleted all those *new WinXP* files off the *Backup* HDD--no big deal if it can't be determined any longer!

Nightowl,
I noticed something in the backups report that there wasnt enough space for the D: drive to create its backup. In the Backup Management there is a checkbox to let it automatically optimize backup space on the F: drive. I checked that and deleted all the older backups, leaving one backup for eack partition. Well, then on the F: drive there were several old backups. Not recent but older ones from several months ago. Attached is a jpg of the F: drive Explorer directory.
Question is do those need to get deleted? Seems the older backups won't go away.
Thank you.

Well, so Ghost did not delete *all* the old backups!  Some how those remaining backups were no longer being *monitored* by Ghost as the current list of backups that it was aware of.  Those backups are still *valid*, but for some reason Ghost reset the list that it was keeping track of and those remaining are from previous backups.

If you feel they are no longer needed--then that's fine.  You have to be the judge of that--just like you had to be the judge to select that *checkbox* to *automatically* delete older backups that Ghost was still monitoring!

Brian may have some better thoughts on letting Ghost decide what to delete as far as old backups--but the ultimate decision is yours!

I deleted the "unmonitored" backups from the F: drive and now have just two backups of each drive, except C:, which I only have the Jan 2 backup. Everything looks good and I have all the space I need on F: for now. Thanks again for saving my ass.  Grin

Hi Guys,

Checking in after a few months. Had a chance to use my knowledge gained here. Had a hard crash and HDs got mixed up again. All I had to do was switch the HDs in the Setup and was back up in a few minutes. Now that I know the problem I can fix what is wrong easily. Take care guys.
