I'd buy a USB stick to backup to.
Or if the individual files to backup are less than 2 GB, use the 15 GB on Onedrive that initially come with your microsoft account. But it takes a lot of time to upload 6 GB.

As follow on from my earlier thread -

- I am attempting to undertake a much needed backup of my laptop.
Preliminary examination or 'test run' of the backup s/w indicates that it could proceed without issue (with fingers crossed).
My on premise backup software permits both backup of either folder or file. I appear to be unable to exclude any chosen folder eg. video content folder.
Presently as I am without an external HDD for backup, I am to forced to undertake a "preliminary/partial backup".
This would involve backup of my D drive, & placing both text AND video content into a specially created 'backup folder'. In effect, a doubling of content placed in the (one) D drive.
I find this solution immediately cumbersome & excessively large. Current video content is<6GB, & text much much less.
Given the technical limitations, I think that the only recourse I have is to undertake a full backup, & after completion, go into the backed up folder, & manually remove/delete the video folder/content.
Yet, given the recently discovered issue I have with my present external HDD (currently not functioning, & planned to merge this with the proposed new external HDDs), I really need the backup of the laptop video content, BUT I do not want this on the laptop D drive.
I am not sure how to proceed.
Any suggestions? Or is the solution so obvious, that I just can't see it?
Thanks.
