Sometimes our drives fail and we have to move the old drive into a new system and other times the OS corrupts from an update or failed software install; it can be a real headache but if your data isn&rsquo;t backed up then it becomes a true crisis.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Thankfully, Windows 10 comes with a litany of backup options but if these aren&rsquo;t what you are looking for there are a number of 3rd party applications that will also help, review our article about those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/labs\/support-software\/Backup-options-FOR-Windows-10-1514\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Backing up files can be completed using Windows built in &lsquo;File History&rsquo; as it provides full backups along with a simple interface for restoring old file versions in case of data loss or an editing mistake. For now, Microsoft still includes the &lsquo;Windows 7 Backup and Restore&rsquo; software which has operated the same way for years and can be super useful granting the ability to create selective file backups or even generate a full system image backup. Finally, &lsquo;OneDrive&rsquo; is a useful tool for backing up specific files and folders.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you are fully backed up and you need to restore data Windows built in tools provide full troubleshooting as well as recovery options; you can even fully reset your PC and for a guide on that check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/labs\/support-software\/Windows-10-reset-990\/\">THIS LINK<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"FileHistory\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"File_History\"><\/span>File History<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Since its inception in Windows 8, File History has been a stable in proper data backup for Windows users, offering incremental backups of your personal files. Once configured, File History maintains a collection of all files selected including a series of previous versions that you could restore from in the event of an editing mistake.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>During initial setup, File History will configure itself to back up your important and most used folders (Desktop, Documents, Music, Downloads, Videos, Pictures and some AppData). You can manually exclude any folders you don&rsquo;t need backed up or even add specific folders that absolutely can&rsquo;t be lost. So let&rsquo;s dive right in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"alert alert-info\" role=\"alert\"><strong>Info.<\/strong> Connect your external backup drive or make sure your internal backup drive is formatted and ready for use<\/div>\r\n\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li>Select the &quot;Start&quot; button in the bottom left hand corner (Windows Icon)<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Click the &ldquo;Settings&rdquo; icon on the left side&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pic_disp.php?id=55678&amp;width=800&amp;height=800\" rel=\"article_pics noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pic_disp.php?id=55678&amp;width=350\" style=\"margin:0 auto;\" \/><\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Select &ldquo;Update &amp; Security&rdquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pic_disp.php?id=55677&amp;width=800&amp;height=800\" rel=\"article_pics noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pic_disp.php?id=55677&amp;width=350\" style=\"margin:0 auto;\" \/><\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Select &ldquo;Backup&rdquo; in the left side panel<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pic_disp.php?id=55692&amp;width=800&amp;height=800\" rel=\"article_pics noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pic_disp.php?id=55692&amp;width=350\" style=\"margin:0 auto;\" \/><\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Now select &ldquo;Add Drive&rdquo; and select the appropriate device<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pic_disp.php?id=55680&amp;width=800&amp;height=800\" rel=\"article_pics noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pic_disp.php?id=55680&amp;width=350\" style=\"margin:0 auto;\" \/><\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Select &ldquo;More Options&rdquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pic_disp.php?id=55686&amp;width=800&amp;height=800\" rel=\"article_pics noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pic_disp.php?id=55686&amp;width=350\" style=\"margin:0 auto;\" \/><\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Now you have the option to click each folder listed and remove if unneeded&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pic_disp.php?id=55687&amp;width=800&amp;height=800\" rel=\"article_pics noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pic_disp.php?id=55687&amp;width=350\" style=\"margin:0 auto;\" \/><\/a><\/li>\r\n\t<li>Click the &ldquo;Add a Folder&rdquo; option to start backing up additional folders<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pic_disp.php?id=55688&amp;width=800&amp;height=800\" rel=\"article_pics noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pugetsystems.com\/pic_disp.php?id=55688&amp;width=350\" style=\"margin:0 auto;\" \/><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"alert alert-warning\" role=\"alert\"><strong>Warning!<\/strong> Unless you have a few Exabytes worth of space available we recommend adjusting the &ldquo;Keep my backups&rdquo; option from &ldquo;Forever&rdquo; to a more reasonable setting.
