Back up files using File History

Use File History to automatically back up your personal files—like 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, favorites, 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.
