I suppose I can see removing the automatic backup feature to save disk space, but what is the argument for silently pretending that you're backing up?
- londons_explore 7y agoPresumably because they needed to maintain compatibility with other tools which require those backups to exist or interact with that scheduled task or the logs it creates. Windows really is a recursive backwards-compatibility hack...
