Will using Windows Backup overwrite everything on an external hard drive?
0 replies, posted
My HP Pavilion dv6 has just told me that my hard disk is failing, and I want to back up my computer using Windows Backup. The only thing in the house that could hold that much would be my dad's external hard drive, and there's a lot of family photos on there that he doesn't want deleting. So, if I use Windows Backup to backup my computer onto the external hard drive, will it just use unused space on there (and stop if there's no room) or will it overwrite everything?
Thanks in advance.
