PCWorld posted a story that Microsoft claims that Windows 8 makes the process of file backup and restore the easiest it's ever been for users of Windows OSes

Acknowledging that usage of this feature is woefully low even on Windows 7, Microsoft set out to make Windows 8's new File History application much simpler to set up, use and maintain.

In addition to the usability enhancements, File History also innovates in other ways, including its ability to capture and archive multiple versions of each file, thus providing not only a backup copy but also a history of a file's changes.
