If for that backup job in Backup Properties->Advanced you had the option Use local catalogs (.bkc) checked when you did the backup, then you just have to run the backup job normally because Backup4all will recognize the modified files and backup only those. If you didn’t have that option checked you must insert the CD or DVD with the latest backup catalog (“.bkc”) file and then perform the backup. The system will read the “.bkc” file and build the list of new and modified files. Then press Backup and you will be asked to enter a new CD or DVD (if the Ask for a new disk before backup option is set in Tools menu, Options window, Backup page). Only new files will be copied to the new CD or DVD.
