SMART UPDATE using Ext HDD containing some data

[KIM]

Dear Sir,

What if I need to use an ext HDD containing data which are not in the source drive?
Can I SMART UPDATE what I have simply COPIED to an ext HDD (not erasing destination) later? Can SMART UPDATE work on files COPIED to destination volume? Or is it only for ERASE and COPIED files?

Thank you.
Cheers,
Kim

See "Storing a backup alongside other files on a destination drive" in the User's Guide, Kim. In general, you should isolate those files in their own partition...

Dear SD,

Thank you for your reply. I think I know what to do now.

Cheers!
