These backups are convenient if you accidentally delete a file or folder, or want to restore a previous version of a file. You can customize what File History backs up by adding or excluding folders.įile History stores the backups locally. After you set it up on your desktop or laptop computer, it automatically backs up a variety of folders, including Documents, Contacts, and Pictures.
The File History feature in Windows 10 is an easy, set it and forget it way to back up data.
