Windows Backup question
After doing a backup with Windows 10, in the folder DATA, there are 2
subfolders: One had files I recognized in it, and the other was called "$OF" (without the quotes of course). It consists of lots of folders named with number in it. What's is the nature of the $OF folder? In case it may be related, I performed by backup on my external "F" drive. Thank you, Bill |

Ironically, file backup seems more primitive in Windows 10 than in Window 7. For instance, I couldn't monitor it while the files were being backed up (I had to use Task Manager to check where anything was happening at all!). Thanks, Bill |
