Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in
the series contains a unique solution. Determine whether the solution meets the stated goals.
You have a computer named Computer1 that runs Windows 10.
File History is turned on.
The user of Computer1 reports that previous versions of D:\\Folder\\File1 doc are unavailable from the Previous
Versions tab.
You need to ensure that the previous versions of the file are created
Solution: Create a backup of drive D by using Backup and Restore (Windows 7)
Does this meet the goal?
A.
Yes
B.
No
correct
I’m going to stick with no here. Using Backup and Restore won’t make them appear in the Previous Versions tab, which was the requirement.
Yeah it seems kinda sketchy…
Someone has a proof?
YES seems the right answer
The user needs them to be available from the Previous Versions tab. To the best of my knowledge, only stored VSS snapshots will appear there. A regular backup will not.
So, in my opinion, although a previous version was created, it will not be available in the Previous Versions tab. So the answer would be ‘no’
The Previous Versions feature enables users to view, revert, or recover files and folders that have been modified or deleted. Previous Versions requires either the File History feature or restore points that the Backup And Restore (Windows 7) tool created. One of these features must be configured for you to be able to use the Previous Versions feature.
After you have enabled File History or created a backup by using Backup And Restore (Windows 7), your system will have created a shadow copy (or a snapshot) of your data, such as the files and folders located in your user profile. The snapshot tracks the changes to the files and folders on the drive, but it should be seen as complementary to the existing backup solution that is in use. Because the snapshot data is not a complete copy of files and is typically stored on the same drive as your data, it is not considered a replacement for traditional backups.

you can enable the Previous Versions feature on Windows 10, which uses the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to generate local shadow copies, and then you can restore previous versions of files and folders within seconds.
