File History has stopped copying

Get File History working again when its last backup is old.

File History is set up on this computer, but it has not finished a backup recently. That usually means it was turned off, or it ran into a problem with the backup drive.

Steps

1. Make sure the backup drive is plugged in.
2. Click the Start button, type File History, and open it.
3. If it says File History is off, click "Turn on".
4. Click "Run now" and wait for it to finish.
5. If you see an error, click "Select drive" and choose the backup drive again.
6. Run SavedSafe again to make sure the problem is fixed.

Good to know

• If the drive keeps showing errors, it may be failing. Copy your photos to a new drive soon.
