I am trying to backup up my files to an external Seagate hard drive. When I go to back up it automatically sends it to my local C drive. I want my back ups to go to my external Seagate hard drive. How do I do that?
How can I set up my external drive as a destination for my backups?

Hi,
To change the backup destination, please go to Backup Properties->External hard drive.
Select the external drive and press Save.
Run the backup.

Do you know you can monitor your backups remotely with Backup4all Monitor? You can read more here: https://www.backup4all.com/backup4all-monitor.html

Re: How can I set up my external drive as a destination for my backups?
Hello, this is sort of the same question. Anybody who can inform me is welcome. I understand how to pick my local drive, which is C. and the External drive. But before I do that, I would like to know how I would send my back up to my second hard drive which is D. Also what size of Flash Drive is required if I want to use that. I have a 32GB Cruzer Glide. -

Hi,
The size of the destination depends on how much data you want to backup, in order to fit.
When creating a backup job using the new backup wizard, you can select the backup destination drive on the first page of the wizard.
