The resolution has been tested using both a Guest machine through Hyper-V and my actual Windows 8 machines. After experiencing several issues while using File History, the article presents a resolution with two methods.

The resolution applies for Windows 7 Ultimate Edition, Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro.
