    Automatic backup

    I'm trying to setup automatic backup. In windows 7 I have it setup but it doesn't backup everything in that folder it backs up only stuff that was edited which causes confusion. Is there any easier way to automatically backup everything in a single folder to my external hd

    Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

    Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

    • I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.


    • Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.
    That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

    Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

    Automatic backup of Pictures folder to an external drive

    Any software that can automatically backup my main drive to a second drive ? (Auto backup changes)

    Hi ! I just bought a nice new Seagate external drive, and it came with a software that allows me to backup my internal drive to it automatically. Meaning any changes I make to my main drive are transferred also to this Seagate.. Giving me a fresh instant backup at all times.

    Is there a 3rd party software that can do this for all of my disks, not just the seagate one ?
    I don't want Image files... I want a plain continuous backup of my folders and files, without me having to format the backup drive and re-copy my updated stuff every week...

    Thanks !
