HiYes, there's a way (two ways, actually), but you need to start out with a file-set that you don't need a backup of (in other words, where you only want to back up files that change after the initial...

Re: Incremental Backups to Zip
I just re-read the thread and realised you probably want a Zip each day, in which case you should include %DATE% in your Destination string, to segregate the Zips.Note that this will produce an...

Just to get the full picture (I realised I forgot some parts)There's no edit required to use VSS (if it can be used at all) for normal copying, but there is an optional setting to tell it not to try on...

Re: Incremental Backups to Zip
