Folder structure

Question

If I already have created a backup on an external hard drive and I change the folder structure on my laptop before the next time that I re-run the backup on the HDD, will my laptop's new folder structure overwrite the old folder structure on the updated, external backup?

Answer 1

Yes, the new folder structure on the laptop will overwrite the old structure on the external backup if it is not set up to specifically append or update existing files.
