Choose folder

Thread needs solution

Want to know how to backup to my external driver but to a folder not just the drive, is there a way of doing this ? only asking because i have loads of other stuff in folders on the drive and it keeps it tidy

Andrew, when you are selecting your backup Destination, don't take the option shown for the external drive on the first page of options, instead, use the Browse option, and then expand 'My PC' to select both your external drive and the desired target folder by that method.

If you just select the first external drive option, then the backups will only go to the root of the drive with no further options given to select a folder.

Thank you that's worked but for some reason it's saying 6 hours left until finished and any other times the same size only takes an hour

Andrew, difficult to say why your backup should be much longer than on other occasions without knowing more about what you are doing, what settings you are using etc.

Please download the MVP Log Viewer tool (link below) and check what your backup task log shows for messages?

My initial thought would be that you have been making incremental backups and your settings now are ready to start a new version chain with a new full backup.

Yes but even new full backups only take na hour so not sure what's going on
