So when the virtual disk image in not mounted, it is just a single item. That helps with organization, and with drive speed.

Thank you for your efforts. I have a question about this episode though. Why should you create a virtual drive? Can't you create a new folder on the hard disk and put all the files to be backed up in that folder? What is the benefit of the virtual drive? Thanks, Satish Hi Gary,
