“File
History in Windows 8 is a new feature that protects users files store
in Libraries, Favorites, Contacts, and Desktop folders. By default, when
enabled, File History scans for changes and copies those changed files
to a separate location (usually an external storage device or network
location).
Setting up and using File History is simple and is available to standard users, not just administrators. That’s right; no longer does it take a call to the helpdesk for users to restore files that they have accidentally modified. To enable file history, from Control Panel > System and Security select File History. File History by default is turned off. To turn it on simply click the Turn On button.
To change the drive where File History data is stored, simply click the Select Drive link on the left side of the File History window. You can choose either a local attached drive, or a network share, by clicking Add Network Location. If there are folders or libraries that you do not want included in your File History, excluding them can be completed by clicking the Exclude Folders link and adding any folder or libraries that you do not want.
By default modified files are saved every hour, stored forever, and the cache takes up 5% of the disk space of the configured drive. These options can be modifies by clicking the Advanced Settings link in the File History Window. There is also an option to share File History options with other users in a homegroup.
