What is Windows File History?
File History when enabled protects files from within the libraries, desktop, favorites, and contacts folders and creates copies of the files. in any event of a system refresh, reset or crash the files that were backed up through File History can easily be restored. File History's restore interface has been made easy and simple to find and restore any version of files that were lost or damaged. File History is turned off by default and needs to be turned on manually and configured how it will save copies of files. Also, before using File History you will need an external storage device or network location with enough storage space to save copies or versions of files for all users.

The image will be a sort of cloaked compressed drive clone spacehog brick that will neither show its included files nor update, but it should work for you if the system crashes. Mine took like 3 hours and compressed to about 31% the size of all the data on the drive. From there I recommend an incremental backup system and a restore disk/usb. .

Fairly 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.
