    Savin to and SD card from Account Right in Windows 10

    Hi Sharynnet,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    • Are you referring to File History backup to your SD card?
    • What is the format of your SD card is it FAT32 EX FAT or NTFS?
    • What is total Space of the SD card?

    This issue might occur if the SD card might not have enough space to save the backup files and also the format of the SD card. I suggest you to follow the steps below to change format of the SD card to NTFS format and check if you can back up.

    • Open File Explore by clicking on Start button
      and select This PC.
    • Right Click on SD card and hoover mouse point on Format
      and Select Format.
    • Under File System Select NTFS and follow the steps below to add authentic User permission.

    Right click the NTFS formatted SD card and select Properties then the Security Tab, under Group or User name click the Edit button then Add and
    enter Authenticated User followed by Check Names, OK etc.

    Then create a folder, such as SD-Documents, and right click this folder and select Include in library > Documents or what ever library you want the folder added to.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Thanks
