  i am getting real confuse.
  
  lets say i have a file 'gold' and a file 'abba'.
  
  i moved the file 'gold' under abba.
  
  after a backup 'gold' appeared twice.
  
  isnt backup mean copy the full exactly as it is?

  It depends on what kind of backup you are talking about.
  
  There are 3 types:
  
  Full, differential and incremental.

  the option is in the Windows backup software U are using.
  
  doesnt matter if its a maxtor or whatever.

  using XP Professional...
  Start->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Backup
  
  Switch to Advanced Mode and go on from there.
  Something like that.

  XP Home has no Windows Backup program. Need to install manually.
