Windows 10: W I D E

Backup recommendation: Documents from C: to E:, then backup D: to E:

I am embarrassed to ask this basic question, but one day the train blew by me and i am still standing on the platform...

Running W10 Preview, so whatever is the latest release.

I finally got a new 1TB HDD and wish to properly implement back-ups of my files.

I have:

1. C: a 500GB SSD
2. D: a 1TB HDD, and
3. E: a 1TB HDD

C: has my OS and also all of the "Documents"
D: Has Pictures, Music, Videos and a lot of misc material.

I want to first back up all of "Documents" to E:, then everything from D: to E:

This will still leave me with about 50GB space on E:

I don't really see how to accomplish this with the backup built into W10, though, admittedly, i get confused rather easily, and am looking for what the least expensive, hopefully free, software that you folks could recommend that will accomplish this as simply as possible, from the standpoints of configuration, automation and economy of work (not recursively copying the same files over every time it runs, and keeping from taking up resources while i am trying to work).

I appreciate your thoughts and knowledge!

 

D drive

Hi,

Based on the details you have provided us, it appears that there might be some corrupted contents on the said partition. We can also consider that this is caused by a virus.

For us to check if a certain virus is hiding your files, kindly follow the steps below:

• Type Command prompt in the search bar.
• Type-in the following command:
  
  attrib -h -r -s /s /d D:\*.*
• Press Enter to execute the command.

If you think that there is nothing important stored in it, then we suggest that you reformat your D drive so that you can use the free space for important files.

You can follow the steps below to start with the process:

• Click on the File Explorer.
• Select This PC.
• Right-click on your D drive, then click on Format.
• Follow the on-screen process to finish formatting the partition.

Let us know how it goes so that we can further assist you.
