    File History


    New computer, OS and Program Files are on the C:drive, data on the D: drive. I want to backup D: using file history without messing with the C: drive to a network location. Doesn't seem to be an easy way to do that.

    Hello rboppy, :)

    If you like, you should be able to use an option in the tutorial below to add and remove the folders and drives you want to be included in your File History backup.

    Hi Brink,
    My screens don't look at all like the ones in the tutorial, after clicking backup options this is what I get:

    I can't get the window that lets me choose which folders to add/remove.

    Sorry for the additional thumbnail, can't delete it.

    It looks like you haven't added a drive and turned on File History yet.

    Afterwards, you should see the same settings available.
