I have been looking around in the new “Settings” (Formerly “All Settings”) and things have changed a lot in Win 11.
CONTROL PANEL
You can still get to the old Control Panel via – Start / All Apps / Windows Tools / Control Panel.
AND I have certainly needed this.
BACK UP
I have an external USB drive set up for backups (plus a system image when I think of it). I also have backups and syncs to One Drive.
I use the 3-2-1 backup method. Three copies of everything – Original on the computer – Second Copy on a local backup – Third Copy “off premises” backup (On Line/ OneDrive).
Just out of curiosity, I went looking for Backup to make sure my computer was still being backed up to both the USB Drive and One Drive after upgrade to Win 11.
I found a section for Backup in – Settings / Accounts / Windows backup. However, this seems to only apply to One Drive Backup.
I then went to Settings / System / Storage / Advanced Storage Settings / Backup Options – but this took me to the same One Drive Backup mentioned above.
After that, I tried – Settings / System / Storage / Advanced Storage Settings / Storage used on other drives – and found the USB Backup Drive, but no way to access the Backup functions.
I was able to go to the old Control Panel / File History to ensure that it is still running / Set up/ turn on or off etc. However, there seems to be no equivalent to the Backup section in All Settings on Win 10.
I searched on line and could not find much apart from the suggestion that the old local backup option has been depreciated in favour of online (One Drive) back up.
I hope not.
