VSS was originally designed to facilitate backing up open files making snapshots of volumes before backup runs so that open or locked files are successfully backed up. The Previous Versions tab in Windows 7 gave users the ability to restore previous versions of files available in snapshots created by the Volume Snapshot Service (VSS), which by default makes block-level differential shadow copies of a volume twice a day. The ability to restore previous versions of files is not new. Windows Server Essentials 2016 makes File History easy to set up by automatically configuring it for all users and providing system administrators a way to manage it centrally. File History is a useful companion to full system backups as it allows users to restore files right in Windows Explorer, or File Explorer in Windows 10. 28th from 10-11am PST.įile History first appeared in Windows 8 and replaced Previous Files in Windows 7.
