Question #: 62
Topic #: 3
[All MD-100 Questions]

You have a computer named Computer1 that runs Windows 10.
On Computer1, you turn on File History.
You need to protect a folder named D:\Folder1 by using File History.
What should you do?

  • A. From File Explorer, add D:\Folder1 to the Documents library
  • B. From the Settings app, configure the Recovery settings
  • C. From Backup and Restore (Windows 7), modify the backup settings
  • D. From File History in Control Panel, configure the Advanced settings
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
File History only backs up copies of files that are in your libraries (i.e., Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, and Desktop folders) and the OneDrive files available offline on your PC. If you have files or folders elsewhere that you want backed up, you can add them to one of these folders.

Answer is correct, File History backups the Documents library by default. Adding a folder from another drive to the Documents library will also backup that folder. I have tested this on my Windows 10 Home edition.

"adding" means "moving the folder" to document? if yes, it makes sense to me.

The answer is wrong. When you turn on file history, by default the user profile known folders are included. If you want to add a custom folder, you have to open the SETTINGS app, go to backup, then add a custom folder

When you add D:\Folder1 to the Documents library it only shows up under LIBRARIES in File Explorer, it doesn't get backed up. I've just tested it

Selected Answer: D
Answer A, adding D:\Folder1 to the Documents library, does not enable protection with File History. Instead, it allows you to access the folder more easily from the Documents library. Answer B, configuring the Recovery settings in the Settings app, is not the correct option for protecting a folder with File History. The Recovery settings allow you to configure how Windows recovers from unexpected problems, such as crashes or data corruption. Answer C, modifying the backup settings in Backup and Restore (Windows 7), is also not the correct option for protecting a folder with File History. Backup and Restore (Windows 7) is an older backup tool that was included in earlier versions of Windows, but it is not used in Windows 10. Therefore, ONLY one left. The correct answer is D. From File History in Control Panel, configure the Advanced settings.

One thing to note, adding D:\Folder1 to the Documents library does not automatically enable protection with File History.

For those debating on whether or not C is the answer compared to A #1 the questions (whether it states this or not) is always looking for the most SIMPLE solution and #2 file history and backup restore are 2 different tools. Why would you use another tool to make the same configurations that the original tool you were using to setup the processes can make? Just use the same tool. I personally would go with answer A. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/file-history-in-windows-5de0e203-ebae-05ab-db85-d5aa0a199255

given answer is correct. I just tested. if you turn on file history, it copys files from : Libraries, Desktop, contacts, and Favorites. Document folder is in Libraries. C is incorrect : you are only able to save back up file on Network location but there is no given information where to save in this question. if it doesn't have any network location, back up won't work

I am confused why C is not the right answer? I had thought the "Microsoft Way" is to do everything via the Settings applet when possible. You can configure File History in Update & Security > Backup > More options and select drives or even specific folders reference link: https://www.howtogeek.com/74623/how-to-use-the-new-file-history-feature-in-windows-8/

libraries (documents, pictures,music...) are automatically backuped when File History is On. So if you move a file in one Library folder, it will be backup too.

Adding it to documents seems correct to me, you can add other folders other than just documents etc but with the options presented the suggested answer seems correct.

I think it's C. To configure File History, click More options on the Backup screen. The Backup options screen allows you to set how often File History backs up your files and how long versions are saved. Reference: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/configure-windows-10-file-history/
