Trying to remotely backup on a weekly schedule for data recovery in case of equipment failure. Do not want weekly appendages to original file set--just one complete file set per week, which is all by itself on the backup drive. Spotty connectivity and poor connection speeds preclude cloud use. Don't seem to be able to set replace data, rather than append data, like is possible in XP.
