Back up files using File History
Use File History to automatically back up your personal files—such as photos, documents, and music—to an
external drive or network location. For example, an external USB hard drive or a network location such as a folder
on another PC.
File History automatically backs up files that are in your libraries, contacts, favourites, SkyDrive and on your
desktop. If the originals are lost, damaged or deleted, you can restore all of them. You can also find different
versions of your files from a specific point in time. Over time, you'll have a complete history of your files.
Before you can start using File History to back up your files, you’ll need to set up a drive to save files to. We
recommend that you use an external drive or network location.
To the set up a drive or network location for your backup, see Set up a drive for File History on Windows.com.
