Unlike OneDrive, you can store as many backups as the storage space allows, which could be many terabytes. This option is better suited for users with a large amount of data (such as video, music, software collections, and project files). Since backups are stored locally, the downside is that the data won&#8217;t be protected from natural disasters (fire or flood). Also, the external storage must always be connected to your computer. Otherwise, backups won&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Windows Backup<\/strong> is the second automatic file backup option on Windows 10. The feature can back up your files to a removable drive or <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/setup-network-file-sharing-windows-10\/\">network-shared folder<\/a> on a NAS server. It works similarly to File History, but Windows Backup offers an option to back up and restore the installation files. However, you can only schedule backups once a day. Since the backups are stored on-site, your files will be protected against accidental deletion, hardware failure, and system corruption, but not from natural disasters. Windows Backup is better suited for long-term archival or <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/create-windows-10-system-image-backup\/\">creating full backups<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OneDrive<\/strong> is perhaps the best option for most users to create a file backup on Windows 10. This is because files are backed up automatically as soon as you sign in and start saving files to the OneDrive folder. Since the data is stored in the cloud, they are also protected against natural disasters, and you can access the files across devices. The only caveat is that you will need a subscription to unlock the 1TB of storage.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a>, I will teach you how to back up your files using one of the various features available on Windows 10.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"toc\">\n<li><a href=\"#backup_files_filehistory_windows10\">Create file backup on Windows 10 from File History<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#backup_files_windowsbackup_windows10\">Create file backup on Windows 10 from Windows Backup<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#backup_files_onedrive_windows10\">Create file backup on Windows 10 from OneDrive<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"backup_files_filehistory_windows10\">Create file backup on Windows 10 from File History<\/h2>\n<p>To create a file backup from Windows 10 File History, use these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Open <strong>Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click on <strong>Update &amp; Security<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click on <strong>Backup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>&#8220;Add a drive&#8221;<\/strong> button under the &#8220;Back up using File History&#8221; section.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129743\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/select-backup-destication-filehistory-windows-10.jpg?resize=827%2C387&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"File History select backup destination\" width=\"827\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/select-backup-destication-filehistory-windows-10.jpg?w=916&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 916w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/select-backup-destication-filehistory-windows-10.jpg?resize=300%2C141&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/select-backup-destication-filehistory-windows-10.jpg?resize=150%2C70&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Select the external or removable drive to use as the backup destination.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Turn on the <strong>&#8220;Automatically back up my files&#8221;<\/strong> toggle switch.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click the <strong>More options<\/strong> option.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129742\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/file-history-more-options.jpg?resize=827%2C387&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"File History more options\" width=\"827\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/file-history-more-options.jpg?w=916&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 916w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/file-history-more-options.jpg?resize=300%2C141&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/file-history-more-options.jpg?resize=150%2C70&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>(Optional) Click the <strong>&#8220;Back up now&#8221;<\/strong> button to create an on-demand backup.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Use the &#8220;Back up my files&#8221; drop-down menu to configure how often to back up your files.
