How can I see how much disk space a disk or folder is using?
In My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click the disk or folder and select Properties. You will see the size or used
space in KB, MB or GB. This is approximately the amount of space that would be used on your PC Data Backups account
when you back up the disk or folder.
- Previous file versions and deleted files do not count toward your account usage.
- Also, by default, temporary files such as deleted files in the Recycle Bin are not selected for backup.
Once you know how much data you need to back up, you can select one of our
online backup plans.
You can also select files from within PC Data Backups to see how much space they take. In the left column of the Backup
View screen the "Total selection" must be less than the "Backup limit". In the Retrieve View screen, if you select My
Computer or the entire C: drive you will see the amount of data available for recovery; this will be less than the backup
limit if you are showing only the most recent version of all files.
