Default Managing Backup Files


Can I make all the backup files save to one folder rather than in the same folder as the original? Alternatively can I hide the folders so I can't see them unless I need them?

Many thanks

Backing up the files to a single folder is generally not regarded as a wise move. Doing so risks overwriting files where you have multiple files with the same names. It also makes it harder to restore files to their original folders.
