File History specifically only backs up your home directory (/users/username) and ignores the downloads folder by default. You can add additional folders to exclude and others to include.

I'm not using Backup, I'm using File History. It's going to a NAS that is backed up to another (remote) NAS as well as local hard drive.

Not sure what you mean. I am on a laptop and I am trying to back up my wsl folder to my nas using file history...

I am trying to add my \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home folder to windows file history for backing up. I have successfully done this for other folders by right-clicking the folder, clicking "show more...

I've got to see if I can return the SAS drive and if they have a reasonably priced SATA drive. If so, I'll swap out the 4TB drive with a 2TB and see what rabbit hole that takes me ;-)

Thanks, but I have a feeling they may have come from one of those USB-attached storage boxes that I cobbled the drives out of (surprised it didn't raise any alarms with Seagate)...

Anyway, while...

I honestly don't know what I did, but last night in a fog, I saw there were two partitions on the drive in the Disk Management app. I expanded one with Mini...

May have to wait... wife is nagging me to do something :-P

Thanks for the suggestion... I've been on the phone with them for... 45 minutes :-/

Done, still shows 2TB

That worked great, but after deleting the partition, it still showing 2TB

This is a new (2022) laptop running Windows 11 stock from Dell. I don't think I have the 2TB limit problem, but stuff happens...

Yup, the context menu does not pop up when I right-click the drive (same as your example)

Each drive only has one partition that is 2TB

Everything seems to be grayed out in the app...361924

Two 4TB drives, both only show a single 2TB partition
I have tried them on the server and my laptop
There is no data that I need to save
I actually saw them as 4TB on this windows 11 laptop

As...

Right, my two 4TB disks are showing up as single 2TB drive

Unless I am missing something, this post references drives that have two partitions. These have only one partition

They have always been external drives. I use them to back up my NAS via a SATA docking station and USB

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly,
When you say showing everything... can you please be more specific?

I am on a windows 11 laptop with this hard drive connected via SATA docking station to USB.
These drives (I have two) used to show up as 4TB on the same hardware, now they don't.

I have run...
