You can click Advanced Settings there on the left to control how long the files are kept, how much disk space is used and how often it happens. I've added photos from another drive, for example as well as Documents from my DropBox folder. If you want to backup more specific stuff, add whatever files you want to your Windows Libraries. It will automatically backup anything and everything in your Libraries (including Documents, Photos, Videos, Music) and everything on your Desktop.
It runs automatically and you don't think about it until you lose something. It will keep a constant shadow of your files backed up to this other drive. This is kind of like Time Machine on a Mac. Turn on File History and point it to your giant external drive, or some large network share that you have available. Take that giant external USB drive you've got lying around and plug it in.įrom within the Windows 8 Start Screen, type " File History" then click " Settings"Ĭlick it. Do it all your machines, especially Non Technical Family Member's machine. I'm going to do a small series of posts called " Windows 8, Step 0" with tips on what to be sure to do after you've installed Windows.
