Windows 8 offers History Vault

Posted on Wednesday, March 30 2011 @ 21:35 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
Neowin reports Microsoft is working on History Vault, a new Windows 8 feature that appears to be much like Apple's Time Machine.
Among the many new features that have been slowly surfacing over the past few days, 'History Vault' can now be added to the list. History Vault appears to be much like Apple's Time Machine in that it will replicate your information automatically to an external location for backup.

The image comes courtesy of CNbeta.com and clearly shows the new feature. The backup function will work like many others that are currently on the market, meaning that they will give you ability to restore files on an individual basis from a certain date and time. You can currently obtain this feature in Windows 7 but the use of third party software is required for complete automation.
