Hi guys - sorry for this dim question.

I have a MacPro with 4 internal drives and a FW800 drive. One of those internal drives is for Time Machine and backups up most of my boot and data from the other three internal drives.

On top of that i have a FW800 drive which backs up just three important folders - two from my main data drive, and one from my system drive.

I used to use Carbon Copy Cloner to do this and it seemed to work fine - it copied those three folders over to the FW drive, and then when new things were added or edited, those files and folders were added/updated incrementally with the new ones.

Now i did a CCC update and it's throwing a load of archived junk on my FW800 drive. All i want is just want these three critical folders on my FW800 drive, up to date. I have my Time Machine drive for archiving/versions. I've tried working out which settings to use in the new CCC and read the developers 'read me' with regards to the changes - but i'd really appreciate if someone could let me know which settings to use to just keep identical, up to date versions of these three folders whenever i click 'clone'?

Anyone else had this issue?

Thanks!
