Remark

If you cannot see the previous version of a file or folder, it may be because the file or folder only existed earlier than any backup schedule. For example, if you create a file on File Sharing (N Drive) at 9:30 and delete it at 10:00, no backup will be taken for that file at 09:00 and 12:00 because it does not exist.
