WIN8 File History Backup function text detailed

First we open the Control Panel:

Select System and Security:

Click File History:

File history is closed by default, the first time to select the drive, you can select the external (U disk, mobile hard disk), network location. Let's take a U disk as an example:

Select drive:

Insert a U disk, select and OK.

You can now click Enable:

After clicking Enable, you can see that this feature has been enabled, and you can also see where it relates to where the file location is saved: only libraries, desktops, Contacts, and favorites:

If you want to save a file backup, you can create a new folder, and then select the right key to include in the library.

This allows libraries, desktops, contacts, and favorites to be saved and, if you do not want to back up, select the exclusion folder for the left panel:

Select Add button on the page to add:

The first backup will be slow, then it's good ~ look, has been back up.

Then you can see the backup files on the U disk:

If you want to restore the file, select the Restore personal file on the left panel:

You can see all the historical records.

We can see an interface that can be selected right and left, we make every change in the file inside the library, the system will automatically update the data in the default time frequency, 2/2 means that I have made 2 changes to the file, each time the data is saved; if we want to recover any of the data, Clicking on the green button will restore the file at that time.

If a large number of files in the data do not change, the system will skip this part, originally thought it would take a lot of time to complete the recovery, skipped these projects, quickly completed.

In the advanced settings, you can change the frequency of the system save files by the default of one hour, of course, if we need to update now, you can manually update. You can also change the size of the offline cache, save the version, and select the default settings.

Through the above settings, you can find different periods of file records, when we need to choose from a certain time period to restore, very simple.
