It can be done using Windows built-in features like File History or a third-party backup tool. By regularly backing up your system, you can ensure that all files, including temporary ones, are safely stored and can be restored if needed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"jump-here\">To set up File History, connect an external drive or set a network location and <a href=\"#jump-here\" title=\"\">follow the steps we have discussed above<\/a>.
