Backup On External Hard Disk Not Possible on Windows 11 BETA
I'm trying to do the Backup on my Ext. Hard Disk but only OneDrive options is available!
- Have you tried downloading and installing all updates.
Make sure report this issue using the Feedback Hub app.
Yes that goes for me too. I also would like the ability to back-up to an external drive without having to use a third party programme.
In addition, I am having an issue with the 'start and search' part of the task bar. Once I have booted the system I can access the 'start square' or 'search' apps etc but having used either once they then become inactive. In effect they are 'greyed out' and if the mouse hovers over them the egg timer just rotates without any progress.
The only way to be able to use the start or search again is to sign out and sign back in or reboot the system.
I may go and add that as a new query to this forum

Windows 11 still reminds you that you haven't connected your backup drive for too long and gives the option of "reconnect drive" under Security and Maintenance, but my problem is my backup drive died, and there is no way to change it to another drive. I hate Microsoft for the despicable way they treat their users. Why would anyone want Microsoft to take away the ability to do a simple data backup to a local hard drive? They just. don't. care.
Eagles_Wings Buy a new external backup drive, like Seagate, and use their toolkit to do your backup.
