Can "Backup and Restore (Win7)" handle multiple backups?
Can "Backup and Restore (Win7)" handle multiple backups?
I keep encountering the same questions when trying to find ways to set up Windows Backup for my Unity Projects to be saved to a remote NAS. The guidance I receive is vague, often just pointing to basic setup instructions or suggesting generic backup tools. I already have a Windows 11 system with backups on an internal drive, and I need a separate folder backed up to a different storage solution. Is this simply a sign of Microsoft’s limitations? Or does it involve more complex solutions? I’m curious if file history could be applied to the NAS directory—though I’m not entirely sure about its availability or how it would work with Windows 11. Also, do Mac users refer to this feature as “Time Machine”? My old Seagate Black Armor NAS is a 2-bay HDD setup with two 1TB drives installed, which I acquired many years ago during my early networking studies. The interface feels dated, with a heavy Aero design and lots of visual effects. It was built for Windows 7 or Vista, not modern systems. TL;DR

You have the ability to perform several backups at once.
If you interpret my message accurately, you are currently saving backups to a single drive.
You might want to duplicate this process (if feasible) and adjust it to use a different target drive.
Many backup programs offer settings for selecting what to back up, when to run backups, and the backup type.
Macrium Reflect could be a suitable choice for your needs.
Create a backup file, name it appropriately, and store it, then execute the process as needed.
Alternatively, let the application run in the background to handle scheduled backups automatically.

You may also utilize PowerShell or other tools if you prefer.
Task Scheduler could be integrated into the workflow at various points.

Was cute during installation it saying "Instead of an Ad, here's an animal."
I'll give this one a shot, Thank you!
(Kinda wish the built in solution wasn't braindead, but 'tis Macroshaft.)
Well, here's a problem that Microsoft's been facing: outside of needing resources to make more advanced software (or just dumb decisions) they get into a legal pickle every time they want make half-decent applications.
Microsoft's been hit with a regulation for Internet Explorer, Media Player, and while I'm too lazy to research this, I'm sure AV software companies tried to tell Microsoft to piss off when they were implementing Windows Defender.
So they can't do a

enough of a job, otherwise a half dozen companies cry "MONOPOLY"
