can't backup my apps & settings to OneDrive

Hello,

To help you resolve the issue, you can follow the steps below:

• Go to Settings.
• Under backup section, select apps+settings.
• Tap manage backups at the bottom part of the screen.
• Select delete button.
  
• Then, try to backup again by pressing back up
  now button under apps+settings.

The backup process may take a few minutes depending on how many apps and games are installed.

Let us know how it goes.

 

How to set a Backup location (Windows XP)?

Hi Greg - It is Windows 7.

The problem is when I attach an external hard drive to use as a backup the device does not come up as a possible backup (if I go through the steps to choose a backup). Nor is it listed as a folder in the Libraries window to drag files into.

I have gone through via Windows help all steps, and yet the drive is still not appearing as a possible Backup location.

(It is listed in Devices).

If you can explain to me how to set this external hard drive up as a backup I'd be grateful!

 

[WPSL] Backup app data

Hi All,

I have a Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app in the store for quite some time now. I recently noticed that the automatic backup for my app doesn't work.

• The app is listed in my phones (W10M) backup options and automatic backup is enabled
• Disable automatic backup is not checked in the WMAppManifest.xml
• Setting "Windows can include this product’s data in automatic backups to OneDrive." in the Dev Center is checked
• All of the apps data is written to Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder
• Using ISETool I'm able to get all the data

What am I possibly missing here?
