    Hello,

    In addition to the "File history" function, you can also use the "Backup and Restore" function to fulfill your needs.

    Go to Control Panel->System and Security->Backup and Restore (Windows 7) and click "Set Up Backup";

    Then click "Browse", select your network drive, enter your username and password (if required), and click "OK";

    You can select "Let me select" or "Let Windows select (recommended)", if you select "Let me select", please check the "Include drive EFI system partition" option;

    In the View Backup Settings window, you can click Change Schedule to make the backup job execute automatically. Click "Save Settings and Run Backup" after the Settings are set and confirmed.
