Well, I may be missing something, but here's why..

I have a complete SD! clone that's, say, a week old. In the last week, I've altered documents. Since the Sandbox boots, and the main drive doesn't, I want to restore my system on the main drive back to health. If I just clone back my week-old SD! backup, I lose any document file changes in the last week. So, what I've been doing is:
  1. copy off the documents from the Sandbox/main drive shared Documents folder
  2. Clone back to the main drive from the week old backup
  3. copy back the documents from step 1

Am I missing something obvious?
