    File History restart

    Hi Jim,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forums.



    To change the backup drive for File History, the current process should be stopped. I suggest you to try the steps listed below to stop file history on an older drive and restart it on a new drive:



    Change File History backup drive:

    • Open Settings and navigate to Update & Security > Backup.
    • Click on More Options, scroll down to locate
      Backup to a different drive section, and choose Stop Using Drive.
    • Plug in the new storage drive, navigate to Settings > Update & Security > Backup,
      and choose Add a Drive.
    • Restart File History and configure it by referring to the article

      File History in Windows      .


    Hope it helps.

    Regards,

    File History on/off status issues

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    1. Are you able to access your missing Email files on Web mail?
    2. Which drive was selected to set up your back up on file history?



    Probably the files might have been deleted when you perform the cleanup operation.

    However, you may try the suggested steps to recover files from file History.

    Error reading or writing history file in PowerShell

    Write errors.

    Both my F3 and F4 get write errors after copying lots of files, worse when its a bunch of small files. Samsung won't take them cause they're all like to hell with smart data, if nothing shows up in their es tool it doesn't matter to them. This is across motherboards and with different cables. I flashed the F4 to fix it's known write error issue (didn't help) and my WD black has had no errors. So it seems the issue, if there is one, is with the drives themselves. Should I ignore this or not? There's no reallocated sectors, no files have become faulty that I know of, and I've been told it doesn't matter cause write errors are corrected. Still bugs me though cause I've really abused my main WD drives and they never get write errors, but apparently this is insanely common with samsung.
