I've been using Windows File History to back up my stuff since I got a new Win 11 PC ca 18 months ago. I stopped using Windows Back Up & Restore after a tech mate told me it hasn't been supported for ages and could potentially just stop working at some random point in future. I'm self-employed and it's my work PC - such a failure could be v bad news for me and my clients.

But - while I am no expert - the whole idea of File History seems kinda sketchy by comparison. What I want is to run full scheduled daily back ups to an external HD. Is there a better option, either from MS or a 3rd party?

Tks for some good ideas here.

I do use Google drive and pay for extra storage to keep impt files and folders in off site, as it were.

But what I want is a regular scheduled back up so if anything goes pop I can restore my whole set up quickly and steadily, to either them same pc or a new one.
