    can't access older FileHistory


    I can't access FileHistory on an older, filled external drive.

    How do I access the edb, xml, and data files since if I start FileHistory on that drive

    it starts a new FileHistory also telling me the drive is full.

    Is there a program that let's me access my older FileHistory?

    It is Windows 10 I believe.

    Thanks,

    Larry

  2. Bug > FileHistory/Credential Manager

    Hi,

    I don't know where to report this so please guide me.

    I use FileHistory to back up all my Windows 10 PCs. Target backup location is a Synology NAS.

    FileHistory uses the Credential Manager to log into the NAS and store the backup files. To me that's a huge problem and therefor a serious bug.

    If I have to store credentials in Credential Manager for FileHistory to be able to store the backup everyone can access that backup data.

    I should not be difficult for ransomeware to ask the Crendential Manager to browse the backup location and then encrypt it. It's pretty ironic that this is a valid scenario - you would think your FileHistory backup is where you restore all data from when it
    has been encrypted - but that's not the case when the entire backup is encrypted.

    I suggest that FileHistory uses it's own password vault instead of Windows Credential Manager. It's a huge flaw that the Credential Manager is being used for backup purpose and it defeats the purpose of having a secured backup when everyone can access the
    backup files. The goal must be to only grant the backup client access to the backup location.
