Why does switching a backup to a new destination start a fresh backup?
Short answer: Each destination keeps its own history, so switching starts a fresh backup at the new place. Old versions stay where they were — remove them yourself once the new backup is complete.
Each destination keeps its own history. When you switch a backup set to a new destination, Storage Studio starts a fresh backup there. The versions already saved at the old place stay exactly where they are — they just stop receiving new backups.
Keep the old destination until the new one has a full backup, then remove the old versions yourself if you no longer need them.
