What is meant on the main page by 'Windows Backup'?

Hello,

I see on the main page that 'Windows Backup' is listed as a feature of FreeNAS, but I'm having trouble finding any documentation regarding this.

Does anyone know what this means?

Are you referring to this?

Backup Services

• 
  Windows Backup
• 
  Apple Time Machine
• 
  rsync
• 
  PC-BSD Life Preserver

It means you can set up a CIFS share on FreeNAS as the network location that Windows Backup uses to store the backup.

Info on creating a CIFS share.
Info on using Windows Backup on Windows 7.
Info on using File History to backup files on Windows 8.

Best regards.
