Hello to all who is reading
Will the existing data on your external hard dive be deleted when you backup your computer?
I was about to backup my internal hard drive on an external hard drive but thought to myself if doing this will delete the existing contents on the external hard drive. I already have files on the external hard drive that I don't want to be deleted. I tried looking online but found no definitive answer. Your reply would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, I will be using the Windows Backup option in the Control Panel - "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)"
Thank you in advance
