Moving pagefile.sys
SolvedHello,
On a PC running Windows 10, the paging file pagefile.sys is located on D: (but the file swapfile.sys is indeed on C:). This has been the case for a long time, and perhaps since the initial upgrade from Windows 7. The disk was partitioned before the installation to separate system and data.
This does not cause any operational anomalies, but it is disruptive for backups.
How can I move pagefile.sys to C:?
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

Hello,
See for example here:

But we can probably also easily use a well-designed backup software or script to exclude pagefile.sys from the source.
For example, the ROBOCOPY or XXCOPY command line can be used to exclude a file, an extension, a wildcard, or a list of files... -
Thank you
