  1. How to backup a single file on windows 10?


    Hello I would like to know how to backup a single file, its a game save file, it does autosave every 10 min, but sometimes save file get corrupted, so i want to backup that save file as much as possible (every time it update or every few minutes, or at least every hour)

    So I would like my backup folder look like:

    savegame-31-05-2020-11:10:00
    savegame-31-05-2020-11:20:00
    savegame-31-05-2020-11:30:00
    savegame-31-05-2020-11:40:00

    Not just a single updated file, I want to have a file for every backup done

    Is there any free app to do this on Windows 10?

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Using network hard drive for backup

    It depends what sort of backup you want to do. If you're happy just backing up regular files, then there are a bazillion (really, that many!) different bits of freeware to do that. There is a good list here:

    Download Back Up Tools for Windows - MajorGeeks

    and pretty much all of them can do network backups. Some even have fancy options like encryption. Really, the most useful thing is just being able to schedule them and know they ran OK.

    You may also want to make a system image backup too, and you'll find that software in the very same list.

    I don't have Windows 8 as yet, so I'm afraid I can't suggest any for that platform. Personally, I use Clonezilla for image backups.
