Little-known new way to backup win8 files

  
                

In general, the way users back up some important files or data is not copied to a USB flash drive or a mobile hard drive. This is a good way, but in the win8 system, a more convenient way has emerged. Users can use the system's own file history to complete the backup of important files, I don't believe it.

Operation steps:

1. Place the mouse in the lower right corner---Call out the super button---Select Settings---Control Panel---System and Security---File History ;

2. file history feature is off by default, click start you can open, for the first time need to select the drive, you can choose an external drive (removable hard disk or U disk) and network location, The network location needs to create a home group and then back up the files to the hard disk of other member computers of the family group.

3. File History does not support the initiative to select the drive folder, supports only link to the library, but in fact the same, we can associate files will be backed up to the library, the default is to back up all the libraries inside Files, if we don't need to back up a lot of useless HD video or music files, you can select unnecessary library files in the exclude folder, and remove a lot of unimportant video files.

4. Click Run Now, it can backup libraries, speed depends on the size of your library file, the slower the first time, now shows file history is a backup copy of your files At this time, removing the USB flash drive will destroy your backup data. Waiting for a while, you will back up.

5. At this time we open U disk, you will see the following folders. The xml file in Configuration is the layout management of the backup data. We don't need to understand this part. The data we backed up is saved in the Date folder. We can read the file in it, but it is very troublesome, we can Retrieve the backed up data by restoring personal files in the file history.

6. Click on the left column to restore your personal files, you will see a screen may be about choice, every time we change a file inside the library, the system will automatically according to the default time frequency Update the data inside, 4/4 means that the file has been changed 4 times, and every time the data is saved. If we want to restore any of the data, click the green button to restore the file.

7. Here a selection period, the data can be recovered.

8. If the data in the file is not a lot of changes, the system will skip this part, thought requires a lot of time to complete resume, skip these items, quickly concluded.

9. You can change the frequency saved in the file system inside the advanced settings, the default is one hour, of course, if we need to update now, you can also manually update. You can also change the size of the offline cache, the saved version, and select the default settings.

After the above graphic detail after the presentation is not that amazing, win8 system files in the folder history not only to back up important data, but also can be used as a time machine, for a certain period The data is restored, and interested users can learn it, which is very helpful for you to use the win8 system.
