    Backup question


    In Windows 10, under All Settings, Update and Security, there is Backup. I usually select Windows 7 Backup and Restore.

    What does this backup? Does anyone here know?

    Thank you.

    Hi, what does it back up? From the tutorial section:
    Create Windows Backup in Windows 10

    gives some info on what it backs up.

    Please note this is not considered a recommended solution- it is not updated or maintained, and should you experience problems, it's unlikely there will be too much help.

    It's there for legacy purposes, primarily. MS itsefl recommends people use 3rd party programs which are current, supported and updated. tenforums members frequently recommend Macrium Reflect (free + paid); there are other options.

    on the Macrium Reflect.

    If you do use the Windows product ensure you have boot media to be able to use it.

    Just ignore the flaky MS solution and use Macrium Reflect Free

    OP's post is ambiguous - he may be asking what "Backup" which is, of course "File History Backup".

    What does this backup?
    I'd suggest 'this' refers to its most immediate antecedent.
