Windows 8 to feature History Vault, Time Machine competitor

[jamescv7]

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.

I hope they make the new features robust and stable and not how Microsoft intends to do....

Interesting, I have noticed but haven't checked to see what I can do with the option to create a VHD within Win7 but this is making 8 look even more promising for a more rounded solution.
