I am trying to backup my complete WSL data to a USB drive; however, I'm running into a 7zip administrative rights problem when I do it simplistically (creating the zip with the same windows user that I run WSL under).
Questions
- How should I create a WSL backup archive as the same user I run WSL under?
- robocopy is an option if I can find the way to specify the source WSL folder(s)
- If this can't be done with 7zip or robocopy, is there a more appropriate (free) Windows backup option for this situation?
