    How To Determine Content of Other Files Shown in Windows Backup Usage


    When using the Win 7 Backup program on my Win 10 computer, my disk space usage summary shows an entry called Other Files, in addition to Data Files and System Image.

    What is the purpose and content of these Other Files? They currently require a pretty big chunk (497 GB) of my 2 TB backup drive.

    I would sincerely appreciate any advice or education. Thanks in advance.

    :)

  2. Backup data

    I have given option not to include a heavy folder while backup. But windows backup is backing the folder contents. As such, my backup disk is filled and I get a warning. When I go to delete unwanted files and reduce space, files or folders are not shown
    individually and I have to delete the whole backup to release space in the disk. How can I command to exclude a folder during the backup process?

  3. E71 and Ovi issue

    1. check manually whether backup (.nbu file) is available here: c:\users\Nokia\documents\ovi\backups

    2. If you select to restore a different backup file, the view is updated automatically according to the contents of the selected file. Only the content which can be restored to the currently connected device is shown. All content backed up from a different
    device model may not be compatible with the currently connected device.
