Tom,

I do a simular method here when I do a Image BU with TI 10 Home.

I have a Sub-Directory called Backup on each of my USB Hard Drives.

So I click on it and then click on the New Folder button and make
a Sub-Directory named for the Year Month Day that the Image is made.
Something that looks like  YYYYMMDD.

Then I name the .TIF file YYYYMMDD.TIF and then tell TI to Continue.

My 640GB and 1TB HDs are getting full so I have been Deleting
Sub-Directories to make room for the new Image files.
But I don't delete a Sub-Directory with the same Date on both of
those USB Drives.
I keep the older BUs staggered between the two drives,

IIRC I was reading an article on Ask Leo and he mentioned the first
BU he does when the year begins he keeps forever, JIC-Just In Case.
