Windows 10: Back Up Using File History...Windows 10 Version 1903

Got all sorts of goofy....can't help but think it was due to operator being a buckethead. All of my images that I already edited and exported out of Lightroom had additional junk added to the file name. Everything in my document folder did as well. Some of my downloaded programs no longer install, don't remember the error code. Many images that are in my "to be posted" folders are now duplicated...in some cases triplicated. This happened to many of my files in my document folder as well. A screen capture of one of my images...

(hopefully this image is just a thumbnail and can be blown up). I know the data is just a date code of sorts but how do I avoid this from happening in the future. I very well may just go back to the way I was copying things, just right clicking, hit copy and then paste it to my backup drives. ANy help/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Merry Christmas

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

File History not backing up any files

Hello Victor

Thank you for the response. I had already checked that thread, but it hasn't helped me:

• The thread deals with Windows 8's implementation of File History, which is somewhat different to that of Windows 10.
• Most of the thread deals with setting up File History (which I have already done, precisely following the recommended steps). The third link in the thread might have been useful since it appears to link to a page that deals with troubleshooting File History
  (as opposed to setting it up), but unfortunately the link is dead.

Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
