    issue with backup options Windows 10

    Hi David,

    I will certainly help with the issue you are facing with backup option.

    To assist you better, kindly provide the information:


    • How exactly are you trying to perform back up? Is it from the Backup and Restore (Windows 7) or File History?

    • Which drive have you selected to back up? Is it an external drive or a network drive or a local drive of the system?

    • When you say 'only allows me to do another backup with the same options', which options are you referring to?

    • Are you unable to select a different drive for a backup from the backup destination list?
    If you are using a Backup and Restore (Windows 7) option then, I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:


    • Type backup and restore in the search bar and press enter.

    • Click on setup backup option.

    • Click on refresh button to check if the drives are visible in the
      backup destination list.

    • Choose the drive which you want to back up and click on
      next.
    If you are trying to use file history I suggest you to un-plug it and restart your computer. Re-plug the external drive and check if the file history options are available.

    Please get back to us with the information to assist you further.

    Thank you.

  4. Shortcut to "Backup Options"

    Shortcut options

    Hi David,

    To be able to get the advanced Properties for your desktop shortcut, you'll need to get the location of your browser.

    You just need to copy the Target address found at the Shortcut tab that can be found on the screenshot Monica has provided you.

    After that, you can follow these steps to create a desktop shortcut:

    • Right-click on a blank space from the Desktop, click
      New
      , then select Shortcut.
    • Paste the address you've copied from the browser's properties, enter a single space, then type in the website you want to exactly open from the shortcut.
      ie. "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://www.cbc.ca/listen/live/radio1/vancouver
    • Click the Apply button, then OK.
    • Open the properties of the newly created desktop shortcut, then go to the Shortcut
      tab to follow the steps Monica has provided you.

    Let us know how it works.

    Regards.
