What is Data Backup in Storage Studio?
Short answer: Data Backup keeps versioned, restorable backups of the folders and files you choose, on another drive or a connected cloud account. Every change becomes a point-in-time version, and nothing is overwritten in place.
Data Backup keeps versioned, restorable backups of the folders and files you choose — on another drive, a folder, or a cloud account you've connected. Every change becomes its own point-in-time version, and nothing is overwritten in place, so an earlier state is always there to go back to.
### What you get - Versions — open Versions… on a backup set to see every point in time it has saved. - Incremental backups — after the first run, only what changed is saved. - Automatic running — it watches your folders and backs up changes as they happen. - Honest status — each set says Protected, Needs attention and so on, in plain English.
Open it from More (•••) → Windows → Data Backup, or from the Data Backup card on the Home screen. The full guide is in the Data Backup manual.
