    The Microsoft very much would like for you to store all your files on its SkyDrive service, and has more strongly integrated SkyDrive into the Windows 8.1 operating system. (And into Office 2013, too, but that's another story.) 

    Four simple steps are:

    =:> If you want to use SkyDrive, you have the option of making SkyDrive the default location for all your saved files, as well as automatically uploading all your photos to SkyDrive.

    =:> Then display the Charms bar and select Settings, then click Change PC Settings. From the PC Settings panel, select SkyDrive. 

    =:> To set SkyDrive as the default location when you save a file, select File Storage and then switch "on" the Save Documents to SkyDrive by Default option. 

    =:> To automatically upload files from your camera roll to SkyDrive, select Camera Roll and then select either of the Upload Files options.

     To make image backup follow th esteps below:


    =:> the best way to find it is to press Windows+S to open the Search panel, and then search for <file history>.

    =:> Then You want to select the second File History option in the search results, to open the File History utility on the Windows desktop.
