"File History takes advantage of a feature built into the NTFS file system called the change journal to keep track of changes to files. Essentially, when any change is made to a file or folder on your hard disk, the change journal is updated with a description of the change and the name of the file or folder. So to determine which files need to be backed up, File History simply consults the NTFS change journal. Using the change journal is fast and efficient and won't use up a lot of system resources like running a conventional backup routine does." https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/64728-enable-disable-file-history-windows-10-a.html

And what if you try to backup a folder that is protected with bitlocker using File History? This question doesn't specify any user logged. Do the user have the ability to unlock de drive, backup the data and lock it again?

3-no (File History requires NTFS as it takes advantage of change journal feature, exclusive to NT File Systems. You cannot use FAT32 drive, it does not support file history)

The way I see it, if all 3 folders are physically included within the Documents Library (which is stated by the question) - and its location is most likely on the system Drive, Folder3 inherited permissions from C:\ and therefore can have previous versions stored wherever File History is configured to store periodic data. I say Yes to all 3

The answers are YES, YES, NO That third statement about FAT32. I tested the whole scenario in the lab for Windows 10 and Windows 11, to sum up when you hit the Run Now and you go check the Previous Versions tag you won't see nothing there. The other two folders will be good even with BitLocker activated. My set up used different disks and the third, of course, was a FAT32 file system (tried with less than 32GB and more than 32GB for curiosity) always paying attention to include those folders in the Documents library. One important thing I tested. You can set the FAT32 disk to be the backup disk. This works fine.

Anyone find an article from Microsoft saying you "can't" use file backup on FAT32 drives? Maybe security and compression?

From Official MS courses : "File History, Backup and Restore (Windows 7), and Azure Backup—can protect and recover files and folders that are stored on an NTFS volume, the most common file system in Windows 10. If files are stored on other file systems, such as FAT, FAT32, exFAT or ReFS, you only can use File History to protect and recover them;" So you can bacckup file present on Fat Drive BUT your backup should be made on NFTS drive or External Drive. So answers are yes , yes and YES (for Fat32)
