I am having issues with a back up system, currently have windows 8 and using their back up system. I have an extra harddrive that is 750 GB internal just for back ups. I assign windows to set up the back up by going to:
Control panel > System and Security > File History.
Then I turned file history on. The problem is it keeps filling up the entire harddrive and then I get an error of low storage space. Is there a way to keep back ups for a certain period and then destroy them. And another question is why do the back ups take up so much room. Look forward to your help.
