  • Is there a way to disable the timestamp in the file history?

    Hello.

    Is there a way to disable the timestamp in the file history?

    Original title: file history

    No, you can't turn the timestamp in the file history.  That's how the backup system knows what backups are latest to avoid corruption and file damage.  It is also an inherent requirement of the NTFS file system, which require that all the files have the underlying timestamps.

  • How to use a partition on a hard disk internal to the file history

    I try to use a partition on my hard drive for the file history. When I open the history file it says "no usable disk found. I allocated about 50 GB of the partition. The size of partition of the problem or do not like the internal disks for the windows backup? If the disk is too small if you please could you recommend a minimum size and if windows does not like the internal drives for backup could you please tell me how to solve this problem.

    Note:    I know it's a bad habit to save on the hard drive, the same that your files are on, but the point of this backup is not file security, more so I can go back to older versions of files such as windows 7 versions. I have an external hard drive dedicated with full backups, but it does not gives me the opportunity to return to an older version of a file at any time as the historical file is that I'm not wearing my backup drive wherever I go.

    Thanks in advance

    Try to make a file on your partition named FileHistory.  .   Right-click and select Properties.   Share it.

  • Records duplicated when you work with the file history

    I look at the file history.
    I wonder what happens if you have a folder contained in the two favourites and libraries. Things get backed up twice or is smart enough history to only backup files?

    For example: I have a user named Woody, and of course Woody has a documents folder.  For convenience in obtaining these records quickly one can be in the Favorites and the other in libraries.  Because Woody the folder called documents I wonder if the history of the files will save this directory twice?

    Thank you

    You can remove duplicates of files and documents. Perform the following steps to change the settings.

    (a) press the Windows key and the X key.
    (b) select Control Panel . Click Show all.
    (c) click file transfer. Click Settings in advance .
    (d) select the desired option in keep recorded versions in the menu drop-down.

    You can clean or remove the previous version as well. On the same page as mentioned above, click clean Versions. Select the appropriate option and delete the rest.

    If you are still unable to work with her, I suggest you try the option of recovering files of Windows 7 available in the Panel. However, steps above should solve your problem.

  • where does Acrobat store the file history

    Have Acrobat 7.1.0 Standard in Windows 7.

    Does anyone know in which folder Acrobat saves the file history? This is the 'story' that appears in file-> history

    I have not installed on Windows 7, but on XP there: C:\Document and Settings\George\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\7.0\organizer70\files. MYD

    It should be something similar on Windows 7, maybe something like: C:\Users\George\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\7.0\organizer70\files. MYD

  • Impossible to implement the file history or select a drive

    bought a new laptop from HP Envy with Win 8.1.  Try to put in place the history of the files so I can save not only the computer, but my personal folder on the computer.  Unable to set a record.  When I search the history file, file history is disabled and grayed out - I can't activate it.  When I click on 'choose a player' I I get a message that found no usable disc, but there is a player of DVD - RW (e :)) and 3 USB ports for flash (f) readers.  Why one of them cannot be used, and why can't the message "no usable disk were found" to activate the backup and set up the process?  Thanks for your help with this.

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply.

    In this case, I you suggest to create a new user account and then try history of the configuration files and check if the problem persists. This is to check if the problem is caused due to any user profile related question or not.

    See the following article from Microsoft Help to create the new user account.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/create-user-account#create-user-account=Windows-8

    Also, try to install the latest drivers, including drivers for the chipset and check if it helps.

    For more information, you can consult the following article from Microsoft Help to the history of the configuration files.

  • After you rename the computer, the backup of the file history still showing the old name of the computer to its destination.

    Original title: history of Falie Worng Destination path

    I changed my computer name [my computer setting and the name, display name, computer and computer Description all equal under the same name]. But when the history of files backing up my files, he insists on putting the OLD computer name in the backup destination path, for example:

    Backup_Drive\\Backup_Folder_A\UserID\Old_Computer_Name\Data...

    I tried selecting a new backup drive and reboot several times, but the history of files always comes back to the old name of the computer when you create the destination path.

    How can I fix?

    Similar to the response of Siva here, you will want to return to

    C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory

    Now, if FileHistory was lit before, using the old username, there will be a configuration file and the Config1.xml and Config2.xml files will contain several tags using the old name of PC. Rather than wipe these files, open each file in Notepad and search for the name of your old PC and replace with the name of the new, do not forget to save.

    In addition, if you want to keep a backup that has already been created with the old name of PC, you'll need to find, rename the main folder ("old name PC") and in this folder, rename tags in the Web configuration files (as you did in the local configuration files).

    When I tried to delete my local config files, he would recreate using files of configuration of the backup, that were also incorrect, so I just manually renamed and mine works fine now under the new name of PC.

  • Can I use an optical drive as a drive backup of the file history?

    I want to use a DVD drive as a backup... win now called historical file... by car.  Flash and HDs readers see an option, but not internal or external optical drives.  They can be used?

    What operating system are you talking?

    An external drive, network, or the Cloud drive are seen the best options. DVD players are not seen as viable options. Read this microsoft document on setting up a historic file player.
