How do I set up a backup that happens on its own?
I deal with lots of Word and Excel files all the time. It's really hard and messy when I have to copy them over every single day after I make changes. What if there was a way to just edit the files normally, without copying anything? Then my backups would update on their own automatically.
Windows 10 has a thing called File History. You can choose how often it runs, and it saves some folders to a special place or a different hard drive instead of your main one.
And I'll add a reminder to turn on "AutoSave". This feature will automatically keep your Word docs and Excel sheets safe while you work. It's not like a full backup, but it helps cut down on the need to constantly click files just because they change daily. [Note: AutoSave might try to save things to OneDrive by default, though you can tell it where to save them if you need to.]
I wouldn't put my backups in abanon-ware because it's dangerous.
Hey, sounds like the best fix since you don't need extra software, but will it automatically refresh the copy or just keep a static file? My Word and Excel files change every day, maybe even hourly. I can't remember to run that update manually all the time, so this is my issue right now.
I didn't mean to attack your program, I was just making sure the OP knew there are many choices available.
