    File History - how to include folders?
    « on: September 03, 2019, 08:00:17 PM »
    Hi!

    I turned on File History in Control Panel.
    It allows to exclude folders from there and it is easy.

    I have separate partitions by content and disks from C to O.
    I want to include some partitions or folders only.
    When I exclude some folders it always backup not wanted - I don't know how the order of backup works.
    I want to prefer for example partition D to backup and maybe other folders only.

    I found no way how to include partitions/folders, only exclude.
    Is possible to customize it by this way? No matter if by Control Panel or Settings or other way.

    Thank you for help, reply or comments.

    Hi Miro

    I sort of understand your question except you seem to have not told us what backup system you are using. It is normal to do the folder includes in the program not in windows control panel.

    Thank you

      I'm sorry I meant that in Windows 10 it is for all versions common.

      I'm using Windows 10.1903 x64 Pro.

      Thanks
      It's not a part of windows I have used.
      Preferring to use "EaseUS to do backup" from here  https://www.easeus.com/backup-software/tb-free.html
      Although i use the paid Workstation version.

        Lisa, I'm not asking about EaseUs or other product, I'm asking for Windows 10 feature File History built-in at least latest Windows 10 version 1903.
        File History allows also to use older versions from file properties menu.

        I hope now you understand.
