Backup file is too big!

Post by hjoesaar » Wed Apr 02, 2008 11:42 am

I backup to a flash drive. I do an occasional digital picture, no digital radiographs, and only scan an occasion letter yet my A-Z file is 78MB! what's up with that? Is this normal or do I have a problem?

A digital photo is about 1MB, and a scanned document is about 300 kB, so it won't take too many to get to 78 MB. We're at about 5000 MB which is 5 GB. There are plenty of storage options for 5 GB.
