backup - How to show progress of "File History" in Windows8?

By using the 'File History' of Windows8 I can backup my stuff (or rather, my 'libraries'). I enable the feature and then ... the magic happens in the background.

How can I see the progress? How many of my files are "now" backed up?

Answer

Right now there is neither a visual tool to get the progress NOR something that could be hacked together via the FileHistory API (and I tried it):

• 
  

  IFhConfigMgr::QueryProtectionStatus - ProtectedUntilTime refers to the last successfull run date

  
  


• 
  

  the other calls are good to configure the service or retrieve configuration (exclude-lists, backup-destinations, schedule, etc etc).

  
  

Bummer.
