Hi! I'm a newbie. I couldn't find file history at Essentials 2019 - either at control panel or server manager or dashboard. Am i too stupid or are there installationproblems or disappeared this feature? Regards, Peter
Hello Peter,
Welcome to the club! Windows Server 2019 Essentials Edition differs from the 2016 version that it no longer includes the Dashboard that you were familiar with but File History is baked in the OS, the Dashboard was just a shell.
To enable 'File History' on a drive in your new 2019 server you to turn on Shadow Copies, see the below screenshot
In your client you will now be able to restore older versions of your files or folders or restore stuff that was deleted.
Choose the date for the restore.
