Default Backup Laptop Question-Windows 8
I bought a new Windows 8 laptop in March. I did not do my first backup until yesterday (yes, not a good idea, but I had backed up my documents, photos and music from my former laptop right before I got the new laptop, and I only added a few new photos and a couple of documents since March).

I now have the backup set to run automatically every hour which is the default backup setting for Windows 8. Does Windows 8 recopy all my files every hour, or does it just update files I have modified since the last backup and make copies of brand new files I have made since the last backup?
