Thanks SeijiSensei and LHammonds,

Hi LHammonds,
Thank you for your suggestions. I'll amend my code accordingly. I have no training in coding so the code is formed from forums and Google searches.

Overnight I run a bash script which carried out a number of backups to internal drives and Google Drive (using Rclone) and once each week to external USB drives.

Thanks darkod,
That all makes perfect sense. With regards to storage space, this should not be an issue. The current hard drive is 160Gb with about 8.5Gb actually in use. The SSD is 120Gb and...
