Thanks again, David. Much appreciated. I hadn't wanted this question to be about Windows 10 and the details as to the workings of File History, but whether or not using File History was a good option for backing up Calibre. I was pretty sure that many long-term Calibre users, like myself, would want to know whether this 'backup' approach was really workable.

Since I started using Calibre, I've manually backed up my Calibre Library folder by simply copying the whole directory to an external hard drive. And I continue to do this, every week or two.

But it would good to hear from others who may be depending on File History for their main Calibre backup. Does it really work?

For the record, File History appears to take the incremental backup approach, checking for any changes in all monitored files every hour (or more often, if requested).
