Windows 8 File History
Windows 8 file history, file auto-backup feature
File History is a new feature of Windows 8 that Microsoft revealed in a new article on the Building Windows 8 blog. It is basically a file backup service that is monitoring select locations for file changes to automatically create a backup whenever files in monitored locations get changed. If you want, it is an undo option for files so that you can restore them to a previous state.
File History needs to be activated before it starts monitoring and backing up files on the system automatically. What you need to know in this regard is that it is only available if an external drive is connected to the computer or if a network location for backups is available, and that only files on local drives can be monitored by the feature. You can enable the new File History feature under System and Security in the desktop Control Panel, or by selecting the configure this drive for backup option in the drive’s action menu when it is connected to the computer.
