How to remove backup volumes using Smartware?

Hi James,

Here is exactly what I would like to do. The main issue I see is deleting the volume that SmartWare takes care of. NoteOld is the old notebook and NoteNew is the new one. NoteOld is running SmartWare backup and has a backup volume in MyBook.

  1. At the NoteOld, stop SmartWare backup.

  2. Copy ALL files I need to a folder in MyBook external drive.

  3. Unplug MyBook from NoteOld and plug in into NoteNew.

  4. Copy ALL files from the folder in My Book to NoteNew.

  5. Install SmartWare into NoteNew.

  6. Configure volume backup for using it with my MyBook.

7. Delete the backup volumes stored in MyBook with NoteOld data (that is the thing I cannot figure out how to do).

I call it ‘backup volume’ because that is what is written in SmartWare. My NoteOld has C: and D: drives backed up and I want to delete it from my MyBook, while preserving other files simply copied to it (I’m using MyBook as a backup drive for SmartWare as well as a storage drive for other files).

So I guess the answer to your question is that I want to delete the profile from the previous system.

Thanks!!!
