Should I setup File History if I use OneDrive as a backup?

[elisabeth_]

Hi everyone,

I have recently reformatted my computer and have not yet setup File History in Windows 10. I was considering not to bother using it as I have all my important documents synced with OneDrive which is basically acting as a backup in the cloud.

What are your thoughts guys, I like the simplicity of not having to run File History to my external hard drive and the added safety of not having my data sat around on a hard drive in case of it going missing etc. What does your backup system consist of

Thanks you
Elisabeth
