There used to be an easy button to click, but they removed
it for Win8.1, to try to force you to use File History. But
some commands are still available.

You could probably make a shortcut to that, but don't
ask me for details :-) I don't know if "Runas" works
for this or not.

Now, the info here, says you can't use Backup in Windows 8.1
(just File History). For some reason, my Win8.1 supports SDCLT.
But I'm way behind on my patches for that machine, so maybe that's
why it still works as it does. That machine needs around a
gigabyte of downloads right now :-)

HTH,

Is there no way to back up to a formatted CD??

A CD holds roughly 700 megabytes of data. How tall would your stack of CDs
be after you completed a backup? It's completely unrealistic.


Below, that's not a proper signature delimiter. It should be "dash dash
space return".
