Default Incremental Backups - Info for J Corliss

John,
The other day we discussed using Xxcopy for incremental backups of XP.
You said that you found that it did not work. I told you that it would
work if you were prepared to use GAG boot manager to temporarily make
your 2nd hard drive read as C:

A less invasive technique, which you may well prefer,is to backup with
Xxcopy and then use the option in Xxclone to make the incremental
backup bootable. I haven't tried it but would be surprised if it did
not work.

Thanks! I'll take a look into it.

Idle curiosity here but why not just use the native XP backup for
incremental backups?

I use a usb hd to perform a full backup every monday and then on friday
I do a differential backup. All automated too.
