Windows 10: windows 10 aquto backup not copying new files and folders

It is not backing up the new folders or files i have added to the folder.I have a folder called "School files" Everyday i add new files and sometimes new directories to the "School files" folder. These are very very important and i do not want them lost, so i starting using auto backup thinking it would backup any new folders or files added to the "School files" folder.

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

Java.nio.file - Copying files

You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
