Windows 10 backup is HUGE
My windows 10 back-up is taking over the world !
I back-up to my Synology NAS from my PC and kep most of the settings as default. So it keeps multiple versions and backup of the normal directories - Documents, Photos etc.
After about 3 weeks I logged into my NAS and saw my space had been largely used up - the Win10 back-up had taken up 1.2TB when I would have expected it to be 200-300 GB.
On investigation it had created multiple versions of so many many files which are never touched or changed - downloaded program files, documents, home video files etc and this is what had taken up all the space.
Of course I understand that it would keep multiple versions but surely only when the file had been changed ? Crazy and unusable otherwise.
Any comments or solution. Now turned off and deleted and using Win7 but would rather use Win10 if I can solve this issue.
Thanks all
