I'm having problems with the backup. I've scheduled it to backup every day. At the time it is supposed to backup, it comes up with a message saying it is backing up. When it's done, it says it is done. But guess what? There's no data there. Anyone else have this problem?

Never mind, I found the files. Backup is working perfectly. Just in case anyone else encounters this, though, I'll explain why I was confused.

The first time I did a backup, I did a manual one. This was on 6-29. It created a folder named with the name of my computer on my external hard drive. Within that folder was another folder called Backup set 2006-06-29.

I assumed each consecutive day, there'd be more folders, each with the next date as the name.

I was wrong.

Instead, WITHIN the Backup set 2006-06-29 folder, are the consecutive days folders, each named with the appropriate date.

Kind of silly to put 6-30, 7-1, 7-2, etc, within the 6-29 folder, but that's a minor detail. At least it is working.
