My mom bought a 2 TB external drive and connected it. She began using W10's Windows 7 Backup. When I discovered what she was doing, I told her she didn’t need that large drive for her small amount of data, so she returned the drive. I helped her set up backup or sync her files to the cloud. The following morning she mentioned receiving an error in the bottom right corner of her laptop: "The backup path does not exist. Please check the backup path and retry." The program would automatically retry after a few seconds. I chose to cancel it. She later told me she still got the same error. I checked the schedule settings, confirmed they were off, and even disabled Windows Backup completely. After rebooting, the issue persisted. How could this happen? Mike

The decision was made based on EaseUS, not Windows Backup. She didn’t mention the download.
