I had to update a church accounting program today. I did a backup first, trying to just use the Windows backup utility. The total backup and recovery file was about 11.7 gigabytes. The backup utility would stop at 4.1 gigs and put up a message that the tape was full. I was using a 16 gig thumb drive, so I had much more space than was needed. I did not find any way to change the source. I eventually just backed up the administrator's documents and let it go at that. Still it aggravates me that I was not able to do the full backup like I wanted. Every time I go back to using Windows, it seems to go out of its way to remind me of why I prefer Linux.
