    I do a full backup on the bbs once a week, I am beginning to think a differential backup would be better and faster. I am backing up to a 10 tb usb.
    It takes 45 minutes right now. What are the critical folders to back up in your
    opinion. I am just using the copy command. What do you use and what areas do you backup?

    Thank you. I have been using xcopy with /d option and doing a full backup every day now in 4 minutes or less. It only backs up files that have changed since last copy or new files. I will definitely check it out though. Have a great day.
