When backing up, under the "what" for, I have two options. "My documents" and "C:".
What is the "My Documents"? Is that the One Drive My Documents folder? Or something else?

The "My Documents" folder is a system default folder that typically holds documents save by most applications. In trying to hold your had the setup gets confusing because the "My Documents" folder IS on your C: drive. C:\Users\Shirty\My Documents.

Hi SbanksCharles.
I appreciate your attempt to assist.
I don't think I understand your second sentence. Can you please explain again in a different way.
On a different note, I know you gave the file path as just an example. Just thought I'd flag that path doesn't exist. The "User" isn't called that, and there's also no "My Documents" folder.

Hello Shirty. The Documents folder is a default folder within your OS installation and listed UNDER C:\ which is your boot /OS drive. These are "defaults" everyone will see when setting up a backup set. Documents CAN be stored there, alternatively, they can also be stored where ever the user wishes. Please note in the screenshot that "My Documents and drive C:\ are both checked. Then, review the "File Types" listed on the right hand side where you can select WHAT will be included within the documents and other default folders for the backup. Hope that lands things a bit clearer for you.

Thanks SA.
And to ask a silly question, if it is the OneDrive documents area, Norton won't back this up (as it's already backed up on OneDrive). Is that correct?
Thanks for the helpful and detailed response.
