    File History Question

    I’m not sure how to re-add the folder. So what I did do was to
    manually back up all folders. When I did that, I DID have more listings in documents and pictures.

    What appears to be occurring is this:

    After doing the steps to allow offline access, it seems that File History is capturing those files.
    However, I don’t understand why the files were not captured during normal scheduling which is every 12 hours.

    What I have been looking for is a listing of ALL of my document and picture files, before and after activating offline access.

    So, what I am saying is, File History may be working, but it will not show any document or picture files prior to my offline activation.

    Your thoughts.

    File History - Deleting Entries

    File History

    Can I delete current individual Document entries in File History and still have File History work properly for future listings and maintain my old listings?

    Another tech forum said:
    "File History keeps a database of all the files backed up. Since you manually deleted data in the File History folder (My Documents), the database and file store would be out of sync."

    Do you agree?

    Thanks,
    Jerry

    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.
