How to create a backup in windows 10!!

There are two types of backup you can make:-

1) personal data files.

2) for your complete system.

Now, we first start with personal data files backup -

In personal data files, you can take backup of your photos, videos, documents, files etc whatever is saved in your individual user account of windows 10.

Now, it's time to discuss to you how you can take backup of it. So, let's get started.

Q. What is required to take a backup?

Ans. First, you need an external hard drive which you can buy from Amazon or nearby shop. It is available at a cheap rate which cost you around Rs. 4000 or $59.99.

Q. Can I use the internal drive for taking a backup?

Ans. yes, you can but it is a little bit risky if hardware crash, fire and theft whatever loss happens, you may lose your data so, you should always use an external hard drive.

Personal data files backup:

Using File History - It is a feature which allows you to make regular, scheduled copies of the personal data on your PC and stores it on an external drive.

Let me show how it works -

step:1 goto search bar => type "backup". after that you can see there is written " backup setting" just click on it.

step:2 Attach an external drive to your PC. After that, click on " add a drive".

step:3 select your external drive

step:4 Just click on "more options"

step:5 As you can see there is an option of "backup now".Just click on it.

You can also tell Windows 10 to delete older backups automatically, which will prevent your hard drive from filling up too quickly.

When it’s creating a backup, File History automatically copies all the folders that are part of the main User Account on your PC, such as Music, Photos and Videos.

To view the folders in your User Account just go to the Users folder on your main C: drive and click the folder that has your personal account name – ie C:/Users/Ravi.

System backup:
