| 1408594 | 2015-09-20 23:50:00 | Hi all. I am thoroughly satisfied with W 10 Pro, it is fast, uses 5 year old hardware etc- and makes me wonder why some people object at all, it is that good. I have one question: when using W 7 pro I ticked some boxes to automatically back up photos etc,, which having done it once, should not need re doing every week, as is set up. I am having W 10, saving 6 gb back up every week, using "let windows decide" etc. Can I untick the above and reduce back up size ( and still using "let windows decide" to use say 2 gb or similar? and of course where in the world can I find those squares :D Effie c |

The other Way I do it, is use Robomirror (sourceforge.net) - and manually run backups from time to time, (the whole PC gets backed up automatically every night), this is just a secondary task. Which reminds me, was meant to run it last night :o |
