Complete Backup Tries to Backup the Entire Drive?

I'm trying to use the Backup functionality and I have PA installed on my hard drive (C:\PortableApps). When I use the complete backup option, it tries to create a zip file of my entire hard drive (C:\).

Any thoughts?

BTW, The backup of "App

BTW, The backup of "App Data" works just fine. The problem is only with backing up everything.

Umf,

it's supposed to do that, full backup means a full backup of the drive, what is it that you are trying to do.

Thats the way it is

1. App data backs up the /data directories of your /PortableApps dir.
2. Documents backs up your /Documents folder
3. Complete backs up the entire drive the backup program is on.
In your case, that would be C:\. In my case that would be Y: (my 1 DB usb device)
