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.
Make sure file a bug report so Windows team would be able to check and investigate this issue.
I tried but i don’t think they read me ahah
- I called Microsoft support, and they told me that their engineers are working on backup to an external drive, but at this time only onedrive is available for backup.
JDK55 That is great news. I have been trying to perform backups using the Windows 7 backup option that is now part of the Control Panel. However, I have not successfully been able to totally complete one. I constantly get an error that indicates my backup drive doesn't have enough space. The backup is about 50 gigs and there is 650 gigs free space. I hope Microsoft works quickly to resolve this issue.
ctopkisoutlookcom workaround solution is to use the external drive software like Seagate has Toolkit which allows you to do backup, so you don't have to wait for Microsoft. I think they are trying to push Onedrive.
- Windows team will read every feedback but because they are too many feedbacks, they won't be able to response to every single one , however Windows 11 is under testing and this issue could be fixed in the future releases like other feedbacks.
Reza_Ameri Yeah i hope it! But.. i'm the only one with this issue?
- Not, sure people who would have the same issue would be able to upvote your report.
