First backup with Smart Update?
 
I've used SD successfully for many years now but this has never been clear to me.

I have my master drive and I have my empty backup partition.
I open SD and make my "Copy" and "To" selections and set Backup - all files.

Here's my question: For my During copy choices can I START this new backup with "Smart Update XXX from XXX" or do I have to use "Erase XXX, then copy files from XXX"?

I think I've done some first time backups with the former in the past and everything seemed to be fine, but I was curious whether this is actually setting up my backups correctly.

It seems to me that the ability to start a new backup with the "Smart Update" choice is a better one given the fact that you wouldn't have to revisit the backup settings again for the second, third and consecutive runs.

You can start with Smart Update, no problem.

Oh fantastic! That makes things so much easier.
