Hello, thank you for the video.
I have a question though...dumb as it may be!!!
How can I backup everything...I mean all the programs that I have installed, photos, videos, music, settings, etc...?
Thank you once again! :)

Fantastic video.
I've searched many videos on youtube but no one mentioned whether this ''file history backup'' keeps the SETTINGS of softwares, apps, games... or not?
for example let's say I have google chrome and I installed some add-ons extensions to it and I adjusted the SETTINGS of each extension to certain preferences, will that ''file history backup'' keep that SETTINGS exactly as it is the moment it captures it when I restore it in the future??

Thanks for that mate, the easiest back up ever. I didn't know that was in my control panel.
