What is the difference between "File History" and "Backup and Restore"?

Question

Windows

In Windows 10, in the Control Panel, under "System and Security" there are two sections - "File History" and "Backup and Restore". The first section saves changes to user files and allows you to roll back to previous versions. The second section, in addition to backing up the system, also saves user files and allows you to roll back to previous versions.
Question - why is the first section needed? Does it have an advantage, and should it be included, or is the second one enough?

Answer 1

A backup protects data from being destroyed.
For example, the disk burned out - and the backup copy is intact, because it cannot be placed on the same disk.
The backup copy has a guaranteed retention period, and is destroyed when there is a backup copy of more up-to-date data.
And history is just history.
A file system feature that allows you to take a snapshot of the file system and then restore it at any time.
It is stored on the same disk, it is allocated for it. Some space, as soon as it runs out, the older snapshot is deleted, if this does not help, all snapshots can be deleted.
For example, if you start restoring data from this copy to the same disk, the space will run out, and the copy will be deleted automatically.
File history has no advantage over backup for the simple reason that they are different things.
A backup is created for a long time, minutes, or even hours, and heavily loads the computer - try copying a large amount of data.
The file history is based on shadow copying - a snapshot of all files on the disk is created instantly, regardless of the amount of data on the volume and the size of the volume, and practically does not consume system resources.
You can make shadow copies at least every ten minutes.
Well, it's useful at work.
Deleted the file, it seems unnecessary.
Then he remembered that he seemed to be needed - he got out of the shadow copy.
It is not in the backup - the backup is done once a day, and I created this file today and deleted it today.
The user accidentally slammed all the files on the file ball.
Came restored everything from the shadow copy.
And this can be done by the user himself.
If you restore from a backup, a day will be lost, a shadow copy on my file balls is done once an hour.
