Windows 10: File History and backup to a NAS

I have been trying to use file history in Windows 10 to back up to my NAS. It works to backup everything but the documents which it refuses to do unless an alteration has been made to the document. I have looked at other advice on the community pages and everything suggested doesnt work. so before i go off to third party solutions is there a way to sort this problem out? Thanks

Force File History from BitLocker device to NAS

After I enabled BitLocker on my C-Drive File History refuses to make backups to my NAS. The NAS is Linux based and apparently FH doesn't do backups from a BL-protected drive to a destination where it can't be sure if it is protected.

How do I force File History to backup to a NAS?

 

File History Interferes with networked NAS file access

When I have Win10 File History backup turned on I can no longer listen to music or other media located on my NAS without interuptions. Access to the NAS directories and files slow down dramatically. This began sometime in the last couple months, presumably
after one of the Win10 updates. The File History backups reside on my NAS, as do my media files. This is a ReadyNAS from Netgear. It has run well for years, including with File History in earlier Win10 versions as well as Win8. If I turn off the File History
it will after several minutes resume normal operation. Turn File History back on and again it bogs down.

 

File History is On?

Hi candun,

I'm from the File History team.

What kind of drive (NAS, external hard drive, network) are you using for your File History backup?

We've identified an issue with using ext3 file system based backup target for File History and are working on a fix for it. If your backup target has ext3 file system on it, we suggest moving to a NTFS file system based backup target in the meantime.

Thanks,

Anand.
