Hi Guys,

I am looking to backup all my files (mainly videos and photos which are located on my HDD) through Windows 8's backup system, when I select my external hard drive to do so, it seems like it only backs the files that are on my C drive ( my SDD) and not my F drive (HDD - where all the pics and vidoes, etc are on)

Any idea on how to remedy this? I didn't see an option anywhere.

Appreciate the help!
Mike

Hey there, Mike!

This is not an uncommon issue when using the Windows Backup & Restore services. I'd recommend you to try using a backup software instead, most of them would let you select all the files from multiple locations in your system that would be included in the system image. Here's a list from Tom's Guide that might help you with several third-party suggestions: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Backup-Free-Program-Restore-Scheduling,19055.html

Hope it helps. :)
