Backing up internal hard drives
Hello All,
Hopefully I can get some help with this situation that I am having.
I have a custom built PC with the following Hard drive configuration:
NVME 1 (500 GB): Boot drive (Has...
I'm having the same problem, but my second internal drive is starting to fail, and all my music is on there and the replacement drive is coming on Monday, but I don't have a replicator and don't have anything else to back this up to in the mean time. The drive has been disappearing for some reason but has been back and I thought I'd be at least able to back it up while I had a chance. Don't offer PC back-up services if you're not going to back-up the whole PC....

They don't offer PC backup services and they don't advertise that they do. What they offer is the backup of select system folders and external drives. That doesn't mean you can't use Dropbox to backup your failing drive. You just need to do it manually by copying the files from your drive into the Dropbox folder on your main drive.
Then, what would a feature that is itself called "Dropbox Backup" meant to do? Especially with not-so-random words like "Mac and PC Backup" strung together and something on their own website titled "how to use computer backup" (see below) I can totally see how someone would think this isn't something they offered. That is, if the advertisement for it, as an essential feature to protect ALL your PC or MAC files didn't make you think it wasn't something dropbox did stump you first.
This post is completely wrong and the first thread you see when you google "Dropbox Backup". What is the fine-print on "one computer" regardless of size? Does it include internal hard drives? What's stopping me from backing up multiple TB secondary internal drives?
