    File History Backup and Appdata folders


    I have two home computers both on an Office 365 subscription, Windows 10. Many ‘C:\...User’ folders are included in ‘File History, Backup’ by default but the ‘User\AppData’ folder is not. Is it a good idea to include any of the AppData folders in backups? For example, Outlook files are in the AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook folder and I am particularly concerned about backups for Outlook including Calendars and other personal folders. Perhaps just the ‘AppData\Local’ folder should be backed up? I don't know if there are other files in this or other AppData folders that should be added to The File History Backup process.

    Thanks!

    :)

    Backup These Folders in File History

    My Pictures and My Videos folders are inside the My Documents folder. In File History all three folders are listed in the Backup These Folders list. Does this mean that because of this, files in Pictures and Videos are backuped twice? Once when backing up
    My Documents and once when backing up My Pictures and My Videos (included in My Documents)

    Does File History backup the contents of appdata?

    File History backs up Library folders, nothing else. To be sure that your files get backed up it is mandatory to go through the motions of retrieving some file. Only then can you be sure.
