About Windows File History

File History is Windows's built-in backup feature that continuously saves versions of files to an external drive or network location. It lets users recover deleted files or roll back to earlier versions of a document.

Strengths

  • Included with Windows at no extra cost
  • Keeps multiple versions of files, not just the latest copy

Limitations

  • Needs a separate external or network drive configured to work
  • Less comprehensive than full system-image backup tools
