    Windows 11 backup: can't define folders as in Windows 10!


    Hi,Something's changed. Under W10 you could define a list of any folders you wanted - including where I keep all my project files, separately from the standard Windows folders. Now on W11, I can't see where to do this any more! You seem to be able to backup only what Windows decides.Where can I define my own backup tree?Thanks for any help,Duncan

    :)
