File history not working

file history doesn't seem to be working at all on my pc. I set it and told it to run than looked at where I had set it to save to, Empty. no matter how many times I run it. On my friends system it work, but intermittently.
Tried updating to 8.1 but problem still persists, and I have nothing saved to skydrive, turned off NIS. Any clues?

Hi,
You can try to open File History event logs to view recent events or errors from advanced settings to troubleshoot the issue.
Where did you try to save the backup files? if you select save to a drive on a network, when the network drive disconnects, then all the backup files are in %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory.
When the network drive online again, the backup files will automatically transfer to this network drive. Please check System->File History-> Advanced settings and check the cache file size.
Please make sure the size is large enough to cache your backup file when the network drive is offline.
In addition, I would like to share the link below with you to check the issue:
What if something goes wrong in File History?

Meanwhile, I would like to suggest you post to Windows 8.1 forum for more insights. Meanwhile, please attach the event log there. So that professional there will help you better and more efficient.

  • File History not working at all

    File History does not work at all. I've tried to access it through Search, Control Panel, etc and it just doesn't work.
    When I click on it, it does nothing. I've tried everything. I have never set it up to select the drive to back up because it has never worked.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Jorge

    File History is yet another reasonably poor implementation of an incomplete idea.  Microsoft seems to be all about this lately.
    If you're looking for backup functionality, you can still get it from Windows 8.1, but it's less well-integrated than it used to be in Windows 7.

    Note that there are 3rd party tools such as Z-VSScopy you can use to access individual files and folders inside VSS backups.

  • File History not Working in Windows 8.1

    Ever since I upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1, File History has not worked. I've progressed from Event 202 to Event 204, but no resolution. Using an external Seagate backup drive - have scanned and reformatted that drive. Still no back ups. Seems File History
    thinks my drive is disconnected - but it isn't. Can manually back up individual programs (Quicken) or files, but File History still thinks is disconnected. Even tried backing up to a MS PMD, but it thinks it isn't connected. Funny though - when I click on
    "?Find another drive" - it sees both of those drives. Awesome!

    Hi aquaman5,
    Did the issue occur only with the external media ?Have you tried to back up it to the local drive?
    To configure the file history to back up to another drive,we usually do it from here:
    Is the external drive been detected here ?
    "Funny though - when I click on "?" Find another drive" - it sees both of those drives"
    Where did you get this item "?".If it is possible ,would you please share the screenshot of this symptom with us ?
    "Ever since I upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1, File History has not worked"
    Considering this issue occurred after the upgrading ,I recommend you to run this command to check the health of the system .
    “dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth”
    “I've progressed from Event 202 to Event 204, but no resolution” Would you please share the logs you have got with us ? It will be useful to troubleshoot this issue.
    Best regards

  • Snapback arrow and history not working

    Snapback arrow and snapback in history not working how do I fix this?

    With Safari open press Command + Option + E on your keyboard to empty the cache.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help,
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari.
    See if that made a difference.

  • .jar file is not working properly :developed in NETBEANS

    Hi Gurus,
    i am using NETBEANS IDE 7.2.
    i am developing a project that interacts with databases 10g and COM ports of machine , these all processes are performed by .bat file which i am trying to run from jFramform , code works perfectly .bat file is also called perfectly when i run the project using F6 from the NETBEANS, for testing i placed some dialogue boxes on the form to test it ,
    but when i run executable .jar  file , form run successfully and dialogue box works perfectly but .bat file is not called by executable .jar file.
    this is how i call the .bat file...
      String filePath = "D:/pms/Libraries/portlib.bat";  
            try { 
              Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(filePath); 
            } catch (Exception e) { 
                e.printStackTrace(); 
    and below is the contents of portlib.bat file
    java -jar "D:\SMS\SMS\dist\SMS.jar" 
    you must probably ask why i am calling a .jar file using .bat file .
    reason is that this .jar project sends message using GSM mobile , System.exit(); is compulsory to complete a job and then do the next one ,
    if i use the same file to execute this job it makes exit to entire the application (hope you can understand my logic).
    that's why i use extra .jar file in .bat file , when single job is completed .bat exits itself and new command is given.
    Problem is that code is working perfectly in NETBEANS when i run the project but when i run .jar then .bat file is not working  ,
    thanks.

    Thanks Sir ,
    You need to first test an example that works like the one in the article.
    There are plenty of other examples on the web - find one you like:
    http://javapapers.com/core-java/os-processes-using-java-processbuilder/
    I tried this one.
      try {
                ProcessBuilder dirProcess = new ProcessBuilder("D:/SMS/SMS/Send_message.bat");
                 File commands = new File("D:/SMS/SMS/Send_message.bat");
                 File dirOut = new File("C:/process/out.txt");
                 File dirErr = new File("C:/process/err.txt");
               dirProcess.redirectInput(commands);
                 dirProcess.redirectOutput(dirOut);
               dirProcess.redirectError(dirErr);
                 dirProcess.start();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(mainform.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    as instructed in the article i compiled  both the projects at same version or sources and libraries which is 1.7
    here is my version details
    C:\>javac -version
    javac 1.7.0_07
    C:\>java -version
    java version "1.7.0_07"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_07-b11)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 23.3-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
    inside the NETBEANS IDE c:\process\err.txt  remains empty and code works perfectly , but when I run executable .jar file( by double clicking on that file in dist directry) then c:\process\err.txt becomes full with this error text and there is no response from calling D:\SMS\SMS\send_message.bat
    here is the error text

  • File history stopped working after a warning message in the event log

    I have encountered this twice that File history stopped working, the event log says:
    Unusual condition was encountered during finalization of a backup cycle for configuration C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration\Config
    If I re-run it, it consumes the backup disk space but still failed to backup.
    I have to manually delete all backup, turn off File History and re-configure it again to make it work.
    This happened twice already, so all my file history lost after re-config.
    Anyone encounter the same situation?

    I cant believe these morons put everyone through such hell and then don't even bother to follow up with the correct solution.
    To top it of the moron moderator marks this as an answer??!!!
    What a pathetic joke - I hope everyone reads this message before being punished by the miles of bullcrap in this thread -_-
    Microsoft = ridiculous
    Thanks! I guess the TL;DR version is "to change your file history drive you need to discard the current temp files."
    Exactly :)
    It's the bad wording in the messages.
    the first message (which I can only vaguely remember so can't quote exactly) that gives you the impression you can continue
    something but doesn't make clear that to so will need the "old drive" configured the way the "old drive" was.
    Then the next message is just confusing:
    “we can't copy files to this location.  Your current File History drive is disconnected.  Reconnect the drive and try again” 
    sounds like 
    “we can't copy files to this location. [because there's a problem with the new location]
    Your current File History drive is disconnected. [the new location is disconnected]
    Reconnect the drive and try again [reconnect your new location and try again]” 
    When it should be reworded to say something along the lines of (in more formal language):
    "You asked us to continue...give us the drive you were previously using...or if it's no longer available, click here to start from scratch"
    (I know that's all the opposite of tldr but I'm trying again to put into words what I think was happening).

  • File- Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13

    File->Print not working from SQL Developer 1.2.1 Build MAIN-32.13.
    I downloaded sqldeveloper-1.2.1.3213.ZIP and extract to a local directory. From the extracted directory I ran ..\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper.exe from Windows XP sp2. The program itself seems to run just fine but File-Print doesn't do anything. In Help-About, Java Platform is reported as 1.5.0_06 and Oracle IDE is 1.2.1.3213. I'm not sure where to look for what is causing the problem.
    Thanks

    I hadn't tried CTRL-P before but I did today. On the first attempt, I saw a small jump in the memory usage for sqldeveloper.exe as reported in Windows Task Manager. Otherwise, there was no change. A second CTRL-P in the same session produced a further bump but subsequent attempts in the same session produced no further change in CPU or Memory Usage.
    Using Task Manager to monitor this further, I tried File->Print again and saw that sqldeveloper would periodically climb to 1 or 2 percent CPU and consume a little more memory. After a minute or so, though, all activity stops again.
    I do not get a print dialog box from SQLDeveloper using either CTRL-P or File->Print

  • Flash file, clicks not working in one environment

    Hi everyone,
    I have produced files using Captivate 2, that have output as .exe. These work perfectly across all of our sites, except one.
    The only issue with the site where the files are not working is:
    - Click box within the Flash file do not progress to the next page
    I have output with 'Playback control' and the users at the site in question are able to progress through along the Playback bar. However, I only placed this in for the purposes of testing the file. The final files need to not have the 'Playback control'.
    Does anyone know what I can do differently, to ensure the click boxes work on this site in question?
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Ravi Sandhu

    Hi Ravi
    I'm not sure I fully understand your question. You seem to be saying a Click Box isn't working. But you say the "Click Box within the Flash File". I'm not sure if this means you have used Flash to create a button or something that you are trying to use with Captivate or if you simply mean that you have used Captivate to create a SWF, and inside that SWF the Click Box doesn't seem to work.
    What would be helpful is if we could see the project first hand. Are you able to post the .CP file for us to download and view? If that's not possible, what about posting a screen capture of the slide with the issue where we can see the entire timeline and all objects.
    Cheers... Rick

  • I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data is not.) but

    I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

    HI Dave,
    I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
    I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
    Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
    Does it contain a table?
    How large?
    Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
    Do those other tabs contain a table?
    Have you checked those tables for data content?
    There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
    I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.
    Regards,
    Barry
