Windows File History

If you make partitions on your drive with software other than Microsoft like I used to do, you probably should make at least one system image with vs the file history ..lest you are greeted with a denial at time of system repair. The image will be a sort of cloaked compressed drive clone spacehog brick that will neither show its included files nor update, but it should work for you if the system crashes. Mine took like 3 hours and compressed to about 31% the size of all the data on the drive. After you make the image, copy it somewhere. If you are using a new drive, I recommend using slow format. That first image became quickly corrupted somehow. From there I recommend an incremental backup system and a restore disk/usb. .

I was finishing a long review but my browser crashed so in short : WFH is not reliable and can not be considered as your main backup solution.

It has mean tendencies to:

• keep saving copies of files that haven't changed (source)
• ignore the excluded folders and backup them anyway (source)
• skip parameters, or stop working at all, upon a windows autoupdate
• and these bugs have been lingering and not fixed since windows 8 (and even Windows 7 if memory serves), so there's few chances that WFH becomes reliable some day
