    Admin and user profiles recognize different drives for backup.


    I'd like a choice where I can use file history for both Admin and user. But they recognize different drives for that purpose. Shouldn't they recognize all of them? Both accounts? Here's a screenshot of what I have attached. This seems strange. (I already do Macrium backups. I want a separate continuous backup for files only, not settings, apps &.)

    Hello pxfragonard,

    I assume that you are talking about the Windows built-in backup?
    I have never really got on with the Windows built-in backup [Vista, Win 7, win 10] because of the limitations for me etc.
    I use AOMEI Backupper [FREE], and I have done for a few years now. It is easy to use and FREE.

    I hope this helps!

    No, it doesn't. It doesn't even address the problem I posted. I do image backups on Macrium. But I want to use the File History to save documents and other files to a different drive.
