Why don't backups do a proper restore?
~
I just did a restore from a backup last night and instead of OVERWRITING what was in there, it created DUPLICATES of old files and folders that were already in there, doubling the space used on the usb drive. Old files that I have either updated or no longer want.
I basically had to reformat the usb to clear everything out that was in there and essentially install it blank (except for the portable app itself) and start all over again.
That's not a proper restore. A restore should overwrite everything and delete what's not in the 7-zip backup, itself.
