Many people in a previous video claimed file history wasn't a real backup. In this video I explain why that position is wrong and show how to setup file history as a real and effective free backup solution.

It's a lot easier if you assign the NAS to a drive letter. Then you can just select it whenever / wherever you want to use it.

[davidoreisinger]

Just like you described the NAS, agreed! You can easily stream/sync the file history directory on the external drive (if you assign it a specific letter) or if using a second SSD or HDD in your pc to your Google drive or other cloud storage service.

Excellent points. Especially when you said "you can never have too many backups", I agree 100%

Can I backup multiple images at seperate different times on the same drive ? I imaged my pc when it was fresh (93 gb of data on 1TB drive) but I want to image it again after installing other programs while still having the older fresh image on the same drive. the external drive is 2TB. when I go to image again it says any previous images may be overwritten, will this overwrite the original fresh image I previously saved or is that only if the drive doesn't have enough space?

I am the guy who would take a fillet knife and cut the the top of the ice cream off in order to salvage the majority of the ice cream. You cannot just let mint chip ice cream go to waste. It's fundamentally wrong.

1. When adding the network location can you save the password at that point or does the user or system need full access all the time?

Ello so i have an issue where we had a power outage when i was downloading windows and was selecting the time and language on the setup and now it's just a blank screen with "_" flashing on the top left of the screen

3. Can file history be used with OneDrive for folders outside Documents, Pictures, Desktop?

2. Can you enable file-history and network file location via the registry or/and group-policy?

If I keep all My Files on an external raid, And my C drive is just windows system plus updates and programs,
What would the recommendation be?
If my system is on c and my installed programs are on d, (raid is X)
Would you recommend cloning c if I ever lost it.
Or reinstall a fresh OS if lost?
Thanks

My Win 10 pro looks different than yours in Settings, I have "files backup" rather than backup and when I click files backup I don't get the option to select a drive.

Perhaps a silly question or a problem but I need your support. I have a fresh Windows 10 installed, removed all unnecessary stuff, installed all necessary Apps and updates. And I want to make an image of this windows, an installation so that I can use it on further computer without wasting time on doing it over and over again. Can you advise me how to?

I have been manually backing up for 35+ years. I have used those backups hundreds of times, but never for hardware failures. I have been lucky with storage drives. Video cards, not so much. I think I have only had one hard drive fail, and it was before I ever put anything on it. I have had about a dozen video cards die though. Two motherboards, and some RAM. I think that's about it. Backups have mostly come in handy from accidental deletions and software not saving different versions of a file. I think the most important thing I do is buy good quality storage. Good video and I turned it on.

This may seem like a very basic question but on Windows 10 Pro with TWO users, do we need to set this up on each user?

[itzpsychodebeatzgod]
