    Change backup destination drive? 22H2


    I found a tutorial but it is two years old and does not appear to be relevant to 22H2 release.

    There simply is NO OPTION to select a drive. It just starts backup to the old location.

    The screen shots in the outdated tutorial show an option to ADD DRIVE but that no longer exists.

    Do I have to edit registry to change or remove the old location?

    Why did MS not just add to settings (CHANGE BACKUP LOCATION) as a simple button??


    Thanks

    Ok,
    - which tutorial - link please?
    - What sort of backup are you attempting?

    My crystal ball is currently down for unexpected maintenance, alas.

    Hint- do NOT use Backup and Restore (Windows 7) - deprecated, unsuppported.

    Just the typical built in Win 10 backup.

    Set to daily, keep 3 months. Was running fine just want to change the drive destination.

    I seem to be working in two posts. Sorry. I posted in what I thought was obsolete since it was two years old.
