Because drive-based backups capture your entire hard drive, the size of a recovery
point is typically much larger than the data that is captured during the file and
folder backups. However, file and folder backup data can take up significant disk
space if it is not managed. For example, audio files, video files, and photographs
are typically large files.
You must decide how many versions of backup files that you want to keep. This
decision can depend on how frequently you change the content of your files and
how frequently you run the backups.
Start by viewing the total amount of file and folder backup data you are currently
storing.
