Two separate backups possible?

Anyone know if its possible to have two separate backups co-exist? i.e. a Category Backup and a File Backup or must it be one or the other only?

Hi peking97, Smartware can only do one backup type at a time. You would need to start one, let it finish and then do the other type. You can also make any suggestions you want for future Smartware updates in the ideas boards.

Thanks for the reply jubei04. Assuming I do as you suggest and perform the backups consecutively would I then end up with two separate backups or would the second overwrite or obliterate the first?

The two coexist withing the same backup folder. If you do a Category backup after doing a file Backup Smartware will just add the new files. Without deleting anything from the first backup.
