Is it possible to backup an entire drive, like my OS drive?
Hey guys,
Been using Dropbox from day 2. I looked at the dropbox back up system, it looks like its more "desktop" "documents" folder kinda thing. I was interested in if there was a process for say: Cloning my OS drive and backup to dropbox (doesnt have to be a backup file can just be regular dropbox file if you get my meaning. I am toying with instead of just using dropbox for my work drive but to have a back up of say the OS and and maybe another drive just to have them cloned and ready to go if ever I needed it. Obviously DB doesn't have the TB for backing up everything so happy with just my OS Drive and one more. Is there way to automate this other than just saving the cloned file to dropbox folder? Are there any Integrations that do this? Thanks for time!
Hi democrazy, thanks for messaging the Community
Currently, it isn't possible to backup an entire hard drive, let alone the OS drive.
There is the option to backup an external drive, and it would only be visible on the Dropbox site on this page.
There might be another solution using a third party app or program, so I'll leave this post open for other users to contribute their suggestions.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
