    File History Error Not Backing Up - Error 200


    I love FileHistory I use it to keep and backup files I will change a lot such as documents and coding projects but lately I've been getting the error 200 "Unable to start a backup cycle for configuration saying this Unable to start a backup cycle for configuration C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration\Config I can turn off FH then delete the APPDATA local and roaming folders of all config files and restart FH again but then within a day or 2 I'll get the error again. Now I'm getting it multiple times a day, is there anything I'm missing because everyone else doesn't seem to have FH break everyday like this :/

    :)

    File History Error 200 Every 2 Days?

    I'll keep it in mind thanks! But when I try stopping File History it gives me the error but doing it via the advanced settings for File History seems to have more luck so might be the way to go. Hopefully I don't get any error 200 sometime soon File History Error Not Backing Up - Error 200 :)

    Windows Deleted All File History Versions Error 200

    So I was trying to fix a File History 200 error with the configuration file and suddenly Windows deleted all File History versions which Is store on a internal HDD (not the one used for my OS installation. Is there anyway to get my old versions back? Windows just decided to delete them all without asking... I'm running Windows 10 Pro 64bit version 20H2. What happened just before the File Versions were deleted was when I tried stop using a drive for FH I would get error code 0x80070020 which has happened again. :/

    File History Error 200 Every 2 Days?

    Deleting the config file usually resets things, personally just had File History give me the 200 error again. Which is really annoying as I haven't had any updates or modified anything at all :/
