- macuser707 reviewed Windows File HistoryFairly simple to use. However, any file or folder with a pathname length greater than 184 characters will fail to be backed up and you will not be warned about it. Consider yourself lucky that I just did.
I was finishing a long review but my browser crashed so in short : WFH is not reliable and can not be considered as your main backup solution.
It has mean tendencies to:
keep saving copies of files that haven't changed (source)
ignore the excluded folders and backup them anyway (source)
skip parameters, or stop working at all, upon a windows autoupdate
and these bugs have been lingering and not fixed since windows 8 (and even Windows 7 if memory serves), so there's few chances that WFH becomes reliable some day
