Taking regular backups of your files is a really good habit.

But do you take advantage of incremental backups when backing up your files?

The Incremental Backup concept

An incremental backup is a type of backup that only copies files that have changed since the previous backup.

For example, if a full backup is performed today, the next incremental backup will only take all changed files since today’s backup. This helps reduce the time spent on taking backups and avoiding the repetition of files with the same content.

In this post, we will show you how to do incremental backup using Copywhiz.

One thing about Windows file copy is that it will continuously need your attention if there are duplicate files if a file is in use or if there is any other error.

When you are seriously working on an important task (while a background file copy is going on) and suddenly, if an error popup box appears, the whole flow of work gets disturbed. We have to stop working and attend to these messages. This is why you would wish to stop those messages from popping up or let the error get resolved silently without disturbing your work.

Here I will show how you can use Copywhiz to suppress all the message prompts, error boxes and continue with file copy. Later you can verify the error log to check if there are any errors. It is beneficial when taking backups and when you wish to copy files silently.
