    Backup space and files
    « on: May 21, 2017, 06:08:07 PM »
    When making a back up with Windows 10 does the backup simply make a backup over and over the first backup file or does it simply back up in this order Backup1,Backup2,Backup3 and so on or does it simply backup until out of space.

    .... File History is the primary backup tool in Windows 8 and 10. It offers not just full backups, but also a way to restore previous versions of files. Microsoft also includes the old Windows 7 Backup and Restore in both Windows 8 and 10 and it works the same way it always has, allowing you to perform selective or even full image-based backups. And while it’s not really a true backup solution, the inclusion of OneDrive does let you build a little redundancy into your file storage.
