Understanding Windows 8’s File History
..As noted, File History typically requires a second drive or networked drive to store backup files. If that drive isn’t available -- say, you’re on the go and you’ve disconnected your USB drive -- File History will use a temporary offline cache located on your C: drive.
The Size of offline cache setting controls how much of your C: drive will be used to store temporary backups if the normal backup drive isn’t available. The cache is normally set to 5 percent of the C: drive’s space. But you can increase the cache size to as much as 20 percent (see Figure 6).
Figure 6. File History’s offline cache size can be set as low as 2 percent and as high as 20 percent of the C: drive’s space.
With the Keep saved versions setting (see Figure 7), you can control how long Windows retains your backups -- from one month to an optimistic "Forever."
