Backing up data using File History
Recovery after a system failure is only as good as your most recent backup.
As you add photos, video, music, and other personal files, create a backup of your personal
information. Windows File History can be set to regularly and automatically back up files from
libraries, desktop, contacts, and favorites. If files are accidentally deleted from the hard drive and they
can no longer be restored from the Recycle Bin, or if files become corrupted, you can restore the files
that you backed up using File History. Restoring files is also useful if you ever choose to reset the
tablet by reinstalling Windows.

Swipe from the right edge, and then tap Search. In the search box, type file history, select
File History, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
