Hard drive back-up...where is it?

[Kevin Dacey]

Good morning all!!  I have been backing up the hard drive of my desktop to an external hard drive.  I have "File History" automatically back up my files as "ON"...but i also manually back up to the external hard drive under Back-up Options.  Where does this file go on the external hard drive?  I can't readily see the file that is my back up.  What files do I look under?  Shouldn't the file display the current date?

 

Please and thanks.  I have a screen shot below.

What specific backup program are you using?

Looking at that screen shot, I'm gonna say the versioned backup is in the top folder, Dacey_Tower_Backup and the one below may be relevant to it. The rest look to be certain folders you've just copied to the external. 

 

Hope that helps!

The top folder is for sure a backup folder, and the next one is an image backup.  It appears these were made with windows backup on, probably, a windows 7 system.  What I don't understand is. you say you backup daily and that top folder hasn't been modified in nearly a year.

 

From this, I conclude that you changed how you do backups last October.  My guess is that since then your "new" procedure is backing up somewhere else... not on this drive  - unless you are backing up in your quicken 2020 folder.  I suspect that if you check the settings for whatever program you are using to backup, you will find where they are being stored.
