When I created my first pc back up I pointed to the external drive and the three files/folders were created, I then made a new folder and dragged them into it and then renamed the folder. Upon trying the second pc the back up created again outside the 1st pc folder but when I looked inside it...

I use the Windows back up and restore then when the files are done I drop them into a new folder and name it after the pc then the second pc creates the back up files on the external disk next to the previously named folder, I never create a system image or back up into the same place as the...
