philfromwaterbury Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I have an issue where my weekly backup using windows backup on my Windows 7 machine is increasing in size. I am wondering if CCCleaner is removing a placeholder type folder or file and that is making the size of the backup increase. I also am running spybot... could that be the issue?

Alan_B Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 How much does it grow ? By 4 Kilobytes or 40 Gigabytes ? Growth is a normal feature of Windows. Not a CCleaner BUG. Suggest you observe growth of backups with use of Spybot and CCleaner totally discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 31, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 31, 2011 System backups constantly growing, well Spybot-S&D does make numerous never ending backups of the Windows HOSTS File whenever you run the Immunize feature or have it set to Auto Immunize on startup, it makes other backups as well with the extension *.sbsd.bak in the Mozilla Firefox profiles folders when Immunizing Firefox.
