The "File History" graphic experience of Windows 8 new features

Personal data is increasing, its importance has probably exceeded the device itself in many people's minds, so important data, how do we put it? If the local disk fails, even if there is a backup, does it disappear with the damage of the disk?
How to improve this embarrassment? Windows 8 Consumer Preview has a built-in function called "File History" that enables "offsite backup" by backing up data to an external drive, improving the data security factor. Let's take a look at this new feature:
Open "Control Panel", "System and Security", "File History", you will see the following interface, if the current computer is not connected to an external drive, then the system will Clear tip: We recommend using an external drive for file history. Connect a drive and refresh this page, or use a network location.

Connect a 16GB USB flash drive to your computer, then refresh the page and the system will display the connected USB flash drive.

Click the "Enable" button, the "File History" function will be enabled, the status of the corresponding disk will also change to "File history function is saving a copy of your file for the first time" and display "File" Information such as the source of the copy and the available capacity of the target drive.

In fact, many friends may be concerned about the way these "historical documents" are stored in our mobile devices? Open the U disk used to save the "File History", you can see the files in the following path, mainly saved as a configuration file + a copy of the original file.

In the navigation bar of the "File History" window, there are four options: "Restore Personal Files", "Change Drive", "Exclude Folders", and "Advanced Settings". Simply talk about these functions:
First of all, "restore personal files", there will be a restore of the backup, go to "restore personal files", we will see the following interface, marked with the backup time, the first few There are several backup versions, which files are in the current backup version, and these folders can be opened and viewed one by one. At the bottom, there are forward and backward switching backup versions and a "Restore" button.

The next step is "Change Drive". In this screen, all available drives will be displayed. We can change which drive to use or "Add Network Location". And here you can also choose which users' files to back up.

Then there is the "exclude folder", as the name suggests, here we can set which items need to be excluded when backing up files.

At the end of the "advanced settings", here we can set the time interval for saving a copy of the file, the size of the offline cache (when the save location is the network location), how much to keep the saved version, etc. Detailed setup options.

At this point, all the functions of "File History" are displayed here. I believe that readers will also add confidence to their data security after learning. (Text /computer assistant MVP)
